Open Bidding

Leverage Google Open Bidding (formerly EBDA) for server-to-server real-time auctions that bring additional demand into your Google Ad Manager stack without client-side overhead.

Server-to-Server Bidding

What is Open Bidding?

Google Open Bidding (formerly Exchange Bidding Dynamic Allocation, or EBDA) is Google's server-side bidding solution that allows third-party exchanges and SSPs to compete in a unified auction alongside Google Ad Exchange demand — all within Google Ad Manager. Unlike client-side header bidding, Open Bidding happens server-to-server, eliminating page latency while maintaining competitive auction dynamics.

HBDR configures and manages your Open Bidding setup to complement your existing header bidding stack, creating a multi-layered auction strategy that maximizes competition and revenue. Our hybrid approach ensures you capture demand from partners that perform better in server-side environments while maintaining the transparency benefits of client-side Prebid.

Advantages

Why Open Bidding Matters

Combine the best of server-side speed with the scale of Google's ecosystem.

Zero Latency Impact

All auction processing happens server-to-server within Google's infrastructure. No JavaScript, no browser processing, no impact on page load speed or Core Web Vitals scores.

Unified Auction

Open Bidding participants compete directly against AdX demand in the same auction, ensuring the highest bid always wins. No more waterfall inefficiencies or last-look advantages.

Simplified Billing

Revenue from all Open Bidding partners is consolidated in your Google Ad Manager payment, reducing reconciliation complexity and providing a single, reliable payment stream.
