Enabling device ID targeting for Google Ads
For Google Ads paid destinations, you can obtain individuals' device IDs in an application that you own, and then use that device ID to retarget the individual with Next-Best-Action-based actions relevant to the individual in third-party Android or iOS apps.
For example, when an individual named Troy Murphy uses the banking app owned by his bank, the UPlus Bank, the bank can collect Troy's mobile advertiser ID (that is, AdID on Android and IDFA for Apple), and use that ID to target their ads at Troy in third-party apps. When Troy next opens the Youtube app, he is recognized by his device ID, and may see an ad for UPlus Bank. Paid Media Manager integrates with this mechanism by ensuring that the ad targeted at Troy is his most relevant Next-Best-Action.
