Header Bidding Wrapper that's Easy to Use

What is a Header Bidding Wrapper?

Header bidding wrapper is a JavaScript code template used to connect publishers' ad space with demand partners (Google AdX, SSPs, DSPs, and Deals). All programmatic demand partners can simultaneously bid and compete in the same ad auction, increasing publishers' ad revenue.

Setupad's header bidding wrapper can easily be implemented through the publisher's ad server or directly into a website's source code. This tag-based solution runs a hybrid prebid.js auction that collects bids from both the client and server-side connections to display the winner's programmatic ads.

It doesn't require changes on the website source code and can be easily run through an ad server, like Google Ad Manager or any other.
