Clickio Bidder helps publishers increase competition for their ad inventory by adding Clickio as an extra bidder in an existing Prebid setup.
Keep your current wrapper, ad server and demand partners. Clickio adds more demand, smarter bid stream management and selected high-impact monetization opportunities without a full migration.
Many publishers already have a working header bidding setup. The challenge is getting more qualified demand into the auction without creating extra operational work.
Clickio Bidder is built for that use case. It connects Clickio demand to your existing Prebid auction through a standard adapter, while your current Prebid, Google Ad Manager setup and partner relationships remain in place.
Adding another demand source can help, but modern auctions are more complex than simply sending every request everywhere. Buyers and SSPs use their own algorithms, throttling rules and pricing strategies, which can affect bid rate and revenue.
Clickio Bidder helps manage that complexity. It uses performance signals to route bid requests more intelligently, helping reduce wasted requests and increase the chance of stronger bids.
Not just another bidder
High-impact formats through Prebid
Key advantages
Clickio Bidder gives publishers access to engaging, high-viewability formats through their existing Prebid setup, bringing more monetization opportunity into the current auction.
Advanced multi-size demand
Clickio Bidder makes fuller use of available ad space by supporting advanced multi-size opportunities. This helps demand compete for the most relevant format and size, without requiring publishers to rebuild their existing ad layout.
AI-powered bid stream management
Clickio Bidder manages the bid stream intelligently, deciding which requests to send to which demand partners based on how SSPs and buyers behave. This helps improve bid rate, reduce wasted requests and support stronger revenue performance.
