Google Ads & DV360 stopped bidding on a specific ad unit

Google Ads & DV360 have been the revenue drivers for most of our ad units.

Suddenly last week the impressions being rendered by them dropped by over 90%.

While the overall delivery rates stayed the same as other bidders (criteo, liftoff, rtb house., etc) started winning but the eCPM & hence the revenue for that ad unit reduced by >70%.

Further context:

  • it is a unified ad unit serving both banners and native ads
  • there are no pricing rules applied to that ad unit currently

 

In the past we've seen drops but it generally recovered in a couple of day, but in this case it's almost been a week.

I checked both policy centre & app-ads.txt - no flags/issues there.

  1. What should be the right action plan here?
  2. Any data i should dig into?
  3. How do i prevent this from happening with other ad units?
