GPT takes key details such as ad unit name, ad size, and custom targeting builds the request, and displays the ad on web pages.<\/p><cite>Google Developers<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the GPT framework, publishers can build and customize ad tags based on their requirements for different ad units (including for web- and app-based ads). The granular customization of GPT includes different targeting criteria, synchronous or asynchronous ad calls, custom ad formats, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-does-google-publisher-tag-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Google_Publisher_Tag_Work\"><\/span>How Does Google Publisher Tag Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GPT provides a channel of communication between the ad server and the user\u2019s browser and enables the site to render ads from Google ad server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how Google Publisher tag works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When a user visits the site with GPT, a request is generated from the browser to the ad server looking for tagging JavaScript or gpt.js.<\/li><li>Next, gpt.js generates ad request(s) and forwards it to the Google ad server.<\/li><li>Ad server reads the request to recognize the key values of ad units like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/ad-layout-optimization\/\">ad layout<\/a>, size, and targeting.<\/li><li>Then it starts looking for the best matching ad.<\/li><li>Once a match is found, ad server returns the ad code to tagging JavaScript. <\/li><li>Then, the tagging JavaScript takes the ad and places it on the available ad unit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-benefits-of-google-publisher-tag\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Google_Publisher_Tag\"><\/span>Benefits of Google Publisher Tag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Access to Google Publisher Console:<\/strong> GPT comes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-publisher-console-steps-to-access-and-use-it\/\">Google Publisher Console<\/a>, which helps publishers troubleshoot minor issues with their ad-enabled webpages and provides tips to troubleshoot them.<\/li><li><strong>Reduced page latency:<\/strong> &nbsp;Asynchronous ad calls load the ads and content concurrently, thereby ensuring that the content isn&#8217;t slowed by ads and vice-versa. However, publishers can set it to synchronous mode too.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-level inventory hierarchy:<\/strong> This feature of GPT enables publishers to set multiple line items with desired granularity. Publishers can further create targeting and\/or price hierarchy to maximize revenue.<\/li><li><strong>Single request architecture (SRA):<\/strong> SRA enables publishers to send a single request to Ad Manager rather than sending multiple requests to the individual ad networks, in order to get their creatives.
