Custom dev
Custom dev

Epom provides custom development

Once again, working with a walled garden like Google ad manager means you only play by their rules.

On the contrary, Epom offers custom development. Basically, if you need any reasonable feature, we are ready to create it.

Complex UI
Complex UI

Epom has a better UI

Yeah, there is no accounting for taste, but try using one after the other, and you’ll get what we’re on.

Google Ad Manager is infamous for its complex and cluttered UI. Epom’s interface, while not without its faults, is far easier to navigate and work with.

Uptime

FAQ

What is an ad server?

An ad server is a platform that manages, delivers, and tracks digital ads. It ensures that relevant ads are displayed to the right audience by leveraging targeting data like demographics, behavior, and location. Ad servers also provide analytics for optimizing ad campaigns.

How does Google Ad Manager differ from Google Ads?

Google Ad Manager is for publishers, helping manage and monetize ad inventory on websites, apps, and videos. Google Ads is for advertisers, focusing on ad creation and placement within Google’s ad network. The former is more about ad management, and the latter is about buying and targeting ads.
