1) Digital publishers can integrate Google DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) with Google Analytics 360 to target premium audiences in DFP at higher eCPM rates, measure the impact of content and ads on key metrics like revenue and CTR, and calculate the lifetime value of readers.
2) Custom audiences from GA 360 can be exported into DFP for targeting, allowing publishers to broker higher CPM deals with advertisers for those audiences.
3) Integrating the two platforms allows publishers to drill down on DFP metrics like impressions, clicks and revenue by dimensions in GA 360 like content category, author, and source to optimize content and campaigns.

the same ad unit
Integration data available for only display ads; No video and app ads support*
