What is HBDR Manage Account?

HBDR Manage Account (MA) is a Multiple Customer Management (MCM) relationship inside Google Ad Manager 360. Your Google Ad Manager network becomes a child of HBDR's parent network, and that link gives your site access to Google Ad Exchange (AdX) premium programmatic demand through HBDR — demand that is otherwise unavailable to publishers who don't meet Google's direct AdX eligibility requirements.

Manage Account is the MCM delegation type in which the child grants the parent access to its account. In Google's definition, the inventory is managed in the child's account, the parent has access to it except billing information, the child keeps permissions and access to all settings, and all reporting is shown in the child's network. Your ad units, tags and reports stay where they are.

Before you accept any MCM invitation, check two things in it: the delegation type (Manage Account or Manage Inventory), and the revenue share it sets for payments Google routes to the parent. A child can have only one Manage Account parent, so switching partners means ending the current link first.

How it works

The MCM parent-child structure.

HBDR is the parent network, yours is the child, and the inventory stays in your account.

Step 1

MCM invitation

HBDR sends a Manage Account invitation from our Google Ad Manager 360 parent network to yours. An admin on your network accepts it inside your own Ad Manager, and Google then reviews the child account.

Step 2

AdX demand flows in

Once the link is active, Google Ad Exchange competes for your inventory through dynamic allocation. Ad Manager compares the AdX bid with your best eligible line item and your header bidding demand in one unified auction; AdX adds no line items to your network.

Step 3

You keep your account

Your ad units, tags, reports and settings stay in your network, and you keep admin access to all of them. HBDR works in the account with edit access and no view of your billing information.
