15 January 2025 - Compared to open auctions, PMP is an invitation-only bidding process where publishers invite selected buyers to take place in real-time bidding to purchase their inventory. The minimum price of the bids is referred to as ‘floor price’ and is negotiated before the auction starts. Private marketplace deals are more targeted and premium than open auction deals, which is reflected in the price. By providing a more curated and targeted advertising environment, PMPs allow brands to reach specific audiences with premium content.

r/adops on Reddit: What exactly is a PMP deal in AdManager? There seems to be a lot of confusion?
12 February 2023 -

Looking at deals from a publisher side in Google Admanager a PMP deal seems to me the umbrella term for (Programmatic) Guaranteed (PG), Preferred Deals (PD) and Private Auctions. (Even tough PMP is not Google AdM terminology.)

However, the way agencies and advertisers phrase things has me confused.

First of all: they never mean a PG deal. Instead this is usually just referred to as a Direct Deal, ‘IO based deal’, or something similar referring to a contract. (To make things even more confusing, some clients seem to use 'direct deal' as an other word for PMP deal)

Then: most of the agencies will just ask you for a PMP deal and expect you to set up a PD. However, not all of them, as one reminded me; “PMP means ‘private - market place’, so I need you to set up a private auction”.

All in all it seems best to avoid the term PMP altogether? But what would you say it means when setting up a deal?
