The GAM Revenue Leak: How Daily Alerts Stop Campaign and Programmatic Under-Delivery
If you’re a publisher Ad Ops team managing a robust book of business in Google Ad Manager (GAM), your primary risk isn't just fraud - it's revenue under-delivery.
It’s the moment you log in on Tuesday morning, pull your Monday report, and realize a critical Programmatic Guaranteed Deal (PMP) or a major Managed Campaign (Direct-sold) only hit 70% of its pacing goal. That lost 30%? It’s your GAM Revenue Leak, and it’s a direct hit to your bottom line and advertiser trust, whether the dollars were direct-sold or locked into a high-value PMP.
The End of Manual GAM Reporting: Quantifying the ROI of Daily Alerts for Ad Ops Managers

This repetitive task is the "Ad Ops Tax," consuming time that should be spent on optimization and strategy.
More critically, this manual grind is a massive revenue risk.
