Troubleshoot your augmented line item delivery and bid performance
You can improve your augmented line item (ALI) delivery and impression count, which in return will help you win more bids, by accessing the Troubleshooting tab and reviewing all top issues and bid performance messages.
Navigate to the Line Item Details pane.
Select the Troubleshooting tab.
A prioritized list of top issues that are preventing your ALI from delivering may display in the Top Issues section. Top issues may include any of the following:
- Unaudited creative
- Inactive insertion order
- Inactive line item
To resolve these issues, select the pencil icon that displays next to each issue.
You'll be automatically taken to the appropriate screen to make the necessary adjustments in most cases.
Go to the Bid Performance section to gain insight into how your bids are performing.
A list of bid performance messages may display in the Bid Performance section if your bid performance is underperforming. These messages will be prioritized within any one of these bid performance categories: member targeting, line item targeting, creative, bid value, and auction. For additional information, see Bid Performance Messages for Augmented Line Items.
If you aren’t seeing any bid performance messages, ensure that the appropriate supply strategy is selected from the Supply Strategy menu. The Supply Strategy menu defaults to what was selected when setting up the ALI. If more than one supply strategy was selected, the default priority will be based on the order in which the supply strategies fall on the Create Line Item and Edit Line Item screens as follows:
- Open Exchange
- Managed
- Deals
Select a different supply strategy if the default is causing unexpected results.
Note
If you're expecting bid performance messages but still don't see any, contact your account manager.
Select any one of the bid performance categories to gain insight into how your settings are affecting your bid performance.
