Prebid Price Floor Optimizer — What It Is and How It Works

prebid price floor optimizer

Price floor optimization is one of the crucial steps of Prebid ad stack management. A poorly set price floor can cut your revenue in half, if not more. However, optimizing these floors is an ongoing, time-consuming process that takes quite a lot of know-how. That is why TargetVideo recently introduced the Prebid price floor optimizer, which automates the process of dynamic price floor setup. 

What Is TargetVideo’s Prebid Price Floor Optimizer?

The Prebid price floor optimizer is a monetization booster within the TargetVideo Yield Optimization Engine. It is a price floor automation tool that leverages advanced algorithms and data analytics to calculate the optimal floor for each subsequent auction.

Although the price floor optimizer is still quite new, it has already demonstrated great results. Many of our premium partners have seen their ad revenue more than double within just a few days of activating it.

How Does the Prebid Price Floor Optimizer Work?

Price floor optimization is an automated process that, once activated through our TargetVideo CMS, will perform the following steps.

Step 1: Data Gathering and Analysis

First, the optimizer gathers relevant data. This includes information on your current ad setup and fill rates, as well as statistics from similar publishers in terms of audience size, targeting, and so on. 

Step 2: Initial Price Floor Setup

The optimizer processes the gathered data and turns it into actionable insights. Using these insights, the optimizer determines the best price floors for each piece of your ad inventory

Step 3: Dynamic Price Floor Adjustments

After the initial setup, the optimizer tracks the performance of your header bidding auctions and adjusts the price floors. For instance, if many of your ad calls are returning empty, it will lower the price floor to attract more bids. On the other hand, if your auctions are receiving bids on the current floor, it will raise the floor to find new limits and try to serve higher-earning ads.

The TargetVideo price floor optimizer is a great tool for all publishers and other video-focused businesses that use Prebid to sell ad inventory.
