What is DV360 access?
Google Display & Video 360, usually called DV360, is Google's enterprise demand-side platform for programmatic advertising.
DV360 is used by agencies and advertisers to plan, buy, optimize and measure programmatic campaigns across display, video, Connected TV and other digital inventory.
Unlike Google Ads, DV360 is built around an enterprise account structure. Advertiser accounts operate within partner infrastructure rather than through a simple public self-service signup process.
That means companies looking for DV360 access generally have two routes:
Establish their own direct enterprise relationship.
Access the platform through an existing DV360 partner.
For many independent agencies, the second option can be the more practical route.
How does DV360 access through Ad Geeks work?
Ad Geeks acts as a programmatic infrastructure partner.
Rather than requiring an agency to build its own enterprise DV360 relationship from scratch, Ad Geeks provides access through its existing programmatic infrastructure.
The process is straightforward.
Step 1: Tell us what you need
Start with your agency, client or campaign requirements.
This includes questions such as:
Which markets are you targeting?
What type of campaigns are you planning?
What inventory or channels do you need?
What is your expected media budget?
Do you need platform access, campaign management or both?
Does your team need onboarding?
This helps determine whether DV360 is the right platform and how the account should be structured.
Step 2: Set up your DV360 access
Once the requirements are confirmed, Ad Geeks helps set up the appropriate DV360 advertiser access.
Your team can then begin preparing campaigns within the platform.
Step 3: Get hands-on onboarding
A DSP login alone does not make a team ready to trade programmatically.
DV360 has its own campaign architecture, including advertisers, campaigns, insertion orders and line items. Teams moving from Google Ads often need to adjust to a different workflow.
Ad Geeks provides live technical onboarding and practical walkthroughs to help teams understand the platform before operating campaigns under live budget pressure.
Step 4: Launch and optimize campaigns
Once campaigns are ready, your team can launch programmatic activity through DV360.
Ad Geeks remains available for technical and trading support, including help with campaign setup, troubleshooting and operational questions.
How much does DV360 access cost?
There is no single public flat price for DV360.
The total cost of operating a DV360 campaign can include:
Media spend
Applicable platform fees
Data or audience costs
Other campaign technology costs where relevant
Partner or management fees, depending on the service model
The exact commercial structure depends on the account arrangement and campaign requirements.
The important question is not just "What is the DV360 fee?"
It is:
What is the total cost of accessing, operating and managing DV360?
Before choosing a DV360 partner, agencies should understand every part of the commercial structure.
Ad Geeks discusses the applicable setup and service structure directly based on the agency's requirements, rather than presenting a misleading one-size-fits-all price.

Is there a minimum spend for DV360 access through Ad Geeks?
No fixed monthly spend minimum is required for access through Ad Geeks.
This is particularly relevant for:
Independent agencies
Agencies testing programmatic for the first time
Brands with variable monthly media budgets
Teams adding DV360 alongside existing Google Ads activity
Agencies managing clients with seasonal campaigns
This does not mean advertising itself is free.
Campaigns still require media spend, and applicable platform or service costs depend on the agreed commercial structure.
The difference is that agencies do not need to commit to a fixed monthly media-spend floor simply to maintain access.
DV360 direct access vs partner access
The right model depends on your business.
Direct enterprise setup | Partner access through Ad Geeks | |
Infrastructure | Built around your own direct relationship | Access through existing partner infrastructure |
Setup | More enterprise-led | Designed for faster operational access |
Monthly spend commitment | Depends on direct commercial terms | No fixed monthly spend minimum |
Onboarding | Depends on your arrangement | Live technical onboarding available |
Trading support | Internal team responsibility | Ongoing support available |
Best suited for | Organizations with their own established programmatic infrastructure | Independent agencies and growing brands |
A direct enterprise arrangement can make sense for organizations operating at significant scale with their own internal trading and technical resources.
Partner access can make more sense when the priority is getting operational access without building the entire enterprise infrastructure internally.
What can you do with DV360?
DV360 gives agencies access to enterprise programmatic campaign management capabilities.
Depending on campaign setup and available inventory, this can include:
Programmatic display
Run display campaigns across programmatic inventory and manage targeting, frequency and optimization from one platform.
Video
Plan and buy video advertising through programmatic workflows.
Connected TV
Use programmatic infrastructure to reach streaming and Connected TV audiences where suitable inventory and targeting are available.
Private Marketplace deals
Set up and activate eligible private marketplace opportunities with publishers and inventory partners.
Audience activation
Use first-party data and eligible audience solutions as part of campaign targeting, subject to applicable privacy, platform and data requirements.
Campaign optimization
Manage bidding, pacing, frequency and other campaign settings based on the campaign's objectives.
The exact capabilities available to a campaign depend on the market, inventory, data permissions, account setup and applicable platform policies.
Do I get a login and then manage everything myself?
That depends on the support model you need.
Some agencies want to operate DV360 internally but need help learning the platform.
Others want access plus an experienced trading team available when problems arise.
Ad Geeks is designed for agencies that do not want to be handed a login and left alone.
The support model can include:
Live platform onboarding
Campaign architecture walkthroughs
Trading guidance
Technical troubleshooting
Operational support during campaign execution
The goal is to help your team become operational rather than creating permanent dependency on an outside team.
Who is DV360 access through Ad Geeks best suited for?
Independent media and marketing agencies
Especially agencies that want to add programmatic capabilities without building their own enterprise DSP infrastructure.
Agencies moving beyond Google Ads
For teams whose clients need more advanced programmatic capabilities, DV360 can represent a step into a different category of media buying.
Growing brands
Brands that want access to programmatic capabilities but do not want to manage a direct enterprise platform relationship.
Teams with variable budgets
Companies that do not want a fixed monthly spend obligation when campaign budgets fluctuate.
Agencies building an internal trading capability
Teams that want practical access and onboarding so they can develop their own programmatic expertise.
What should you ask before choosing a DV360 access partner?
Not every company offering "DV360 access" provides the same thing.
Before choosing a partner, ask:
Is this actual platform access or fully managed media buying?
Make sure you understand whether your team will actually operate the platform.
Is there a fixed monthly spend minimum?
Ask about minimums before committing.
What are the total fees?
Understand the complete cost structure, including any platform, service, data or management costs.
What technical support is included?
A login and hands-on onboarding are not the same service.
What happens if we need campaign help?
Ask who handles technical troubleshooting and trading questions.
Can we access private marketplace opportunities?
If premium inventory or publisher deals matter to your strategy, ask how those opportunities are supported.
How is account access structured?
Understand the advertiser and partner setup before you begin.
Why agencies use Ad Geeks for DV360 access
The challenge for many smaller agencies is not whether DV360 has useful capabilities.
It is the gap between wanting to run enterprise programmatic campaigns and having the infrastructure, commercial scale and in-house trading resources to support a direct setup.
Ad Geeks closes that gap.
We provide access to enterprise programmatic infrastructure while pairing it with practical onboarding and ongoing trading support.
The focus is on three things:
1. Lowering the operational barrier
You do not need to build an entire programmatic trading desk before getting started.
2. Removing the fixed monthly spend barrier
Access is available without a fixed monthly spend minimum.
3. Helping teams actually use the platform
Our model goes beyond account credentials. Teams can receive live technical onboarding, practical guidance and support when campaign or platform issues arise.

What is the difference between DV360 access and managed programmatic advertising?
