What is DV360 General Optimizer?

DV360 General Optimizer is an optimization agent that analyzes insertion order budgets, line item performance, and device/geo/exchange breakdowns across all DV360 objectives every 6 hours. It proposes budget shifts, pause/resume actions, and targeting exclusions at the IO and line item level. Built for programmatic traders and media buyers managing DV360 campaigns.

Why this kit exists

The problem — and how this kit solves it.

The Problem

DV360 accounts have deep hierarchies — campaigns, insertion orders, line items — each with their own budgets and targeting. Manual optimization across device, geo, and exchange dimensions is time-consuming and error-prone. By the time a trader reviews all line items, underperformers have already consumed significant budget.

The Solution

This agent evaluates the full campaign hierarchy every 6 hours: IO budgets, line item performance, device breakdowns, geo segments, and exchange quality. It proposes budget shifts between IOs, pause/resume actions on line items, and targeting exclusions for underperforming devices, geos, exchanges, and URLs. Target CPA is $25 with a 7-day lookback window.

The Outcome

Reduce CPA below $25 by automatically identifying and excluding underperforming inventory sources, devices, and geos across the full DV360 hierarchy every 6 hours.

Who is this for?

Programmatic tradersMedia buyersAgency programmatic teamsIn-house DSP teams
1

Programmatic trader managing a large DV360 advertiser

The agent handles the repetitive work of reviewing line item performance across hundreds of placements. Exchange and URL exclusions are proposed automatically, freeing you to focus on strategy and new deals.

2

Agency running multi-campaign DV360 accounts

Deploy one optimizer per advertiser. It manages IO budgets and line item targeting across all campaigns, ensuring consistent CPA performance without manual line-item-by-line-item review.

3

Brand with in-house programmatic team

Reduce the time spent on routine optimization. The agent catches underperforming geos, devices, and exchanges within 6 hours, applying exclusions that would take a trader days to identify manually.

Frequently asked questions

Insertion order level: pause, resume, set_budget. Line item level: pause, resume, set_budget, exclude_exchange, exclude_url, exclude_geo, exclude_device. All actions follow the Campaign > Insertion Order > Line Item hierarchy.

$25 with a 7-day lookback window. The agent evaluates line item performance against this target and proposes changes for those consistently above it.

Yes. The agent analyzes exchange and SSP performance at the line item level and proposes exclusions for exchanges delivering poor CPA, high fraud rates, or low viewability.

The agent respects the Campaign > Insertion Order > Line Item hierarchy. Budget changes happen at the IO level, while targeting exclusions and pause/resume happen at the line item level. This matches how DV360 structures spend allocation.
