What is an SSP?

A supply-side platform (SSP) is how publishers sell their ad inventory programmatically. Here is how it connects to the traffic you buy.

What is an SSP diagram

An SSP, or supply-side platform, is software that publishers and app developers use to sell their advertising inventory through automated auctions. SSPs make a publisher's available impressions visible to many buyers at once, so the inventory is sold to the highest relevant bidder in real time.

How it works

How an SSP works

When a user visits a publisher's site or app, the SSP offers that impression to connected buyers (DSPs and exchanges) and runs an auction. The winning bid's ad is shown, and the publisher earns revenue – all in the milliseconds the page loads.

For advertisers, SSPs matter because they are the source of inventory. The more SSPs a DSP connects to, the more supply and reach an advertiser can access from one account.

Why it matters

Why SSPs matter to advertisers

You do not use an SSP directly as an advertiser – you buy through a DSP that connects to many SSPs. The breadth of those connections determines how much inventory, how many GEOs and how many formats you can reach.

FroggyAds connects to 750+ SSP integrations, aggregating 20B+ daily impressions into one self-serve account, with source-level whitelists and blacklists so you control exactly which supply you buy from.
