What is an Ad Placement?

A Placement refers to a location within your app where ads can be displayed. This location might be, for example, on your Start screen, on the Game Over screen or the bottom or top bar of the app.

For each placement, you can define a specific ad format, configuration and delivery rules to maximize performance.

You must have at least one ad placement to monetize your app.
