Distribute Data Marketplace Data to Google

Data sellers can use the "Google Data Marketplace" tile to distribute Data Marketplace standard segments to Google's public third-party data marketplaces (DV360 and Google Ad Manager), as well as distribute Data Marketplace custom segments to specific advertiser accounts within DV360 and Google Ad Manager.

This allows data sellers to share their Data Marketplace segments with multiple clients within DV360 and Google Ad Manager, and manage the process (including segment licensing) through Connect. For more information, see the "Distribute and License Data Marketplace Segments" section below.

Caution

For data sellers: Make sure to include segment descriptions that are clear enough that a reasonable consumer can understand the contents of the segments.

Note

Data sellers can also distribute Data Marketplace data to Google Ad Manager through the Curation with Google Ad Manager [Marketplace] tile. For more information, see "Distribute Data Marketplace Data to Google Curation in Google Ad Manager".

Data buyers cannot distribute Data Marketplace segments from LiveRamp to Google, and should instead find Data Marketplace segments in Google. For more information, see the "Finding Data Marketplace Segments in Google" section below.

Note

Data buyers who want to combine first-party data and Data Marketplace data in Google should contact their Google representative.

All Data Marketplace distributions to Google are first sent to a single LiveRamp-managed account at Google. Segments are then shared either publicly or directly to buyer accounts.

See the sections below for information on distributing Data Marketplace data to Google.

Note

Distributing data with Connect involves activating a destination account for the destination you’re distributing to and then adding segments to distribution for that destination account. See the articles below for instructions:

Distribute and License Data Marketplace Segments

For data sellers, to distribute and license Data Marketplace segments to Google:

  1. If you haven't already, activate a "Google Data Marketplace" destination account.

  2. From the Google Data Marketplace destination account, select a Data Marketplace segment and click Add and Share at the bottom of the screen.

    Tip

    Existing Google Data Marketplace destination accounts will appear under "License Sharing Destinations" if they contain at least one active Data Marketplace segment.

    • For custom segments: If you're not sure about which product to choose, reach out to the end advertiser for clarification, or click the information icon on the dialog for more info.

      Note

      If you’re distributing a custom segment with a non-US currency on behalf of a customer, there are additional steps that need to be performed before the segment will be available to that customer. For more information, see the "Distributing Data Marketplace Segments to Google in Non-US Currencies" section below.

    • For standard segments: Select "Google Reseller" as the product and enter "0" as the seat ID.

Caution

DV360 Advertiser and DV360 Partner are different types of accounts within DV360. Reach out to the advertiser receiving the segments to confirm which product is correct.

After initial licensing, all active segments can be shared with additional Google products or accounts.

You will receive a success or failure email after licensing segments.

Distributing Data Marketplace Segments to Google in Non-US Currencies

LiveRamp’s Data Marketplace integration with Google does not automatically support non-US currencies. Custom segments with non-US currencies can be distributed to Google, but because Google is expecting the segments to be priced in US dollars, segments based on other currencies will fail to distribute to Google until LiveRamp performs a manual licensing step.

Once you’ve distributed a custom segment with a non-US currency, you should receive notice from Google that the distribution has “failed”. Once this happens, create a LiveRamp support ticket to have us complete the licensing process in the correct currency in Google’s UI.

Finding Data Marketplace Segments in Google

For data buyers, Google has prepared documentation on where to find third-party segments (including Data Marketplace segments) in a variety of UIs. Most of their documentation is behind authentication barriers, so you might need logins to the appropriate Google platform to view the links below:

Google Ad Manager

Google DV360

Caution

Third-party data can’t be used with Google Search Ads 360, Google Ads, or other Google-owned properties, such as Gmail and YouTube. See this Google article for more information.
