DV360 launches frequency limit and reach measurement innovations
Google's advertising platform, the Marketing Platform, announced significant updates to its Display & Video 360 service on August 26, 2025. These improvements focus on enhancing real-time auction dynamics, with a shift towards media cost-based calculations for more accurate frequency management impact measurements.
The changes affect various aspects of the platform, including the Display & Video 360 Report Builder interface, the Programmatic Guaranteed Savings category, a newly established Savings category, and campaign reporting systems across all geographic markets where the platform operates.
One of the key updates is the introduction of enhanced reach measurement capabilities through the "Cost per reach" metric. This update aims to provide advertisers with a more precise understanding of their reach acquisition costs.
In addition, the updates focus on frequency cap measurements and reach optimization capabilities. Google is replacing bid request-based calculations with total media cost methodology, providing better insights into real-time auction dynamics and enabling precise frequency management analysis.
For Programmatic Guaranteed deals, advertisers must transition to "PG Savings Reinvested from Frequency Cap" metrics. Similarly, non-guaranteed and auction line items require the implementation of "Savings Reinvested from Frequency Cap" metrics.
These updates complement Display & Video 360's broader measurement enhancement initiatives throughout 2025. The Report Builder interface modifications standardize access to new metrics across different campaign types, facilitating a smoother transition for users.
Google recommends reviewing current frequency management strategies and updating measurement frameworks to incorporate the enhanced metrics. The company offers an August 2025 implementation timeline to prepare reporting systems and training materials for the metric transitions.
The frequency cap savings measurements address a critical gap in programmatic advertising analytics, particularly beneficial for marketing professionals utilizing programmatic guaranteed campaigns. These specialized metrics provide insights into guaranteed inventory dynamics, enabling more informed budget allocation decisions.
The primary change involves deprecating the "Programmatic Guaranteed Bid Requests passed due to Frequency" metric. The new reach and frequency metrics establish a foundation for improved campaign planning and optimization processes.
These updates continue Display & Video 360's evolution towards comprehensive measurement solutions for programmatic advertising. Google aims to improve measurement accuracy by providing advertisers with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of programmatic advertising more effectively.
However, it's worth noting that the search results do not provide specific information on the persons or companies that developed the metric improvements for Display & Video 360 in August 2025. Nonetheless, these updates represent a significant step forward in the quest for increased measurement accuracy in programmatic advertising.
