Integrating Meta Audience Network with your website through Google Ad Manager involves several steps. Below is a general outline of the process you can follow to set it up:
Step 1: Set Up Your Google Ad Manager Account
If you don't already have a Google Ad Manager account, you’ll need to create one:
1. Go to [Google Ad Manager](https://admanager.google.com/).
2. Follow the registration process and set up your account.
Step 2: Set Up Meta Audience Network
1. Create a Meta Developer Account: If you don’t have one, you’ll need to create a Meta (formerly Facebook) Developer account.
2. Create an App: In the Meta Developer dashboard, create an app that will be used for accessing the Audience Network.
3. Configure your App: Ensure that the Audience Network is enabled in your app settings.
Step 3: Get Your Placement ID
1. In your Meta Developer account, navigate to the Audience Network section.
2. Create a new ad placement and take note of the placement ID.
Step 4: Generate the Ad Code from Google Ad Manager
1. Create an Ad Unit:
- Go to your Google Ad Manager account.
- Navigate to "Inventory" > "Ad units" and create a new ad unit. Be sure to select the correct sizes that will correspond to your Audience Network ad placements.
2. Generate the Ad Tag:
- Once the ad unit is created, click on the ad unit to get the ad tag.
- Choose either the asynchronous or synchronous ad tag format based on your website setup.
Step 5: Set Up Line Items
1. Create Line Items:
- Navigate to the "Delivery" tab.
- Create a new line item that includes the ad unit you created earlier.
- Set it to accept ads from Meta’s Audience Network through the appropriate settings.
Step 6: Integrate the Ad Code in Your Website
1. Insert the Code: Place the Google Ad Manager ad tag code into your website's HTML where you want the ads to be displayed.
Step 7: Set Up Targeting and Reporting
1. Ensure you have the targeting settings configured in Google Ad Manager to define the audience you want to reach.
2. Set up reporting tools to track impressions, clicks, and revenue generated from the Audience Network ads.
Step 8: Testing
1. After implementing the ad tags, it’s crucial to test them to ensure they are serving correctly.
2. Use your browser's developer tools to see if the ads are loading as expected.
Step 9: Launch
1. Once you’re satisfied with the setup and testing, you can launch your Audience Network campaign.
Important Notes:
- Compliance: Ensure that your website complies with both Google Ad Manager and Meta Audience Network policies.
- Ad Formats: Familiarize yourself with the various formats available in the Audience Network and choose the ones that best fit your site’s design.
