Troubleshooting Inventory

Issue

Possible Cause

Actions to Take

Zero Auctions

The publisher hasn’t started sending bid requests.

Contact the publisher to activate the deal.

The deal was set up incorrectly, such as by entering an incorrect external deal ID.

Confirm the deal details and edit the deal.

Auctions but no Bids

The placement targeting doesn’t match the incoming bid requests for the deal.

For example, a placement might be targeting a geography that isn’t eligible for the deal.

Edit the placement targets as needed to avoid targeting mismatches.

The placement doesn’t have an active ad with the required media type for the deal.

Create and attach an ad with the correct media type to the placement.

The placement doesn’t have adequate budget.

Increase the placement budget to allow bidding on incoming requests.

The placement flight dates don’t overlap with the impression delivery dates for the deal.

Edit the placement’s flight dates as needed.

Low Win Rate

The placement’s maximum bid (floor or fixed) is below the minimum required by the deal.

Increase the placement’s Max Bid as needed.

The placement uses pre-bid filters that limit bidding.

Lower the thresholds of the pre-bid filters to allow more bidding.

Audience targeting for the placement is too restrictive.

Check if the specified audience targets have enough active users, and expand the audience if possible.
