Display & Video 360: the Ultimate Tool for Programmatic Advertising
A modern display advertising agency no longer just places banners — it works with data, audiences, and performance measurement. In this landscape, Display & Video 360 (DV360) has become the core platform of Google Marketing Platform, enabling brands and agencies to manage all their display and video advertising services from a single, unified interface.
In 2025, DV360 remains the leading solution for digital marketing teams seeking maximum efficiency and precision in their media buying.
What is Display & Video 360
Display & Video 360 (DV360) is a powerful platform for display and video advertising that unites every stage of a programmatic campaign — from media planning to reporting.
It enables marketers to work within a single environment, maintaining full control over budgets, creatives, and data.
Key capabilities of DV360 include:
- Access to global display and video inventory, including YouTube;
- Flexible management of audiences and first-party data;

What’s New in Display & Video 360 in 2025
In 2025, Google continues to enhance Display & Video 360 (DV360), focusing on more accurate performance measurement, budget optimization, and simplified inventory management. Below are the key official updates introduced this year.
1. New Incremental Reach Metrics
In August 2025, Google updated the incremental reach metrics in DV360, enabling advertisers to more accurately measure campaign performance.
- A new metric — Cost per Reach — was introduced, calculated as Total Media Cost / Reach Impressions, allowing teams to assess reach efficiency in monetary terms.
- Additionally, new indicators — Savings and Savings Reinvested from Frequency Cap — show how much budget was saved through frequency capping.
- For Programmatic Guaranteed deals, the metrics Programmatic Guaranteed Savings and PG Savings Reinvested from Frequency Cap are now available.
These updates are designed to help marketing teams measure performance more precisely and optimize budget allocation across campaigns.
2. Deprecation of Legacy Programmatic Guaranteed Metrics
In the same month, Google officially removed the outdated metric “Programmatic Guaranteed Bid Requests passed due to Frequency”, which previously showed bid requests passed due to frequency limits. It has now been replaced with new financial performance metrics — Savings and PG Savings Reinvested — that provide a more accurate reflection of how frequency caps impact overall spending efficiency.
3. Discontinuation of Cross Campaign Optimization (CCO)
Starting September 1, 2025, Google will fully sunset the Cross Campaign Optimization (CCO) feature due to low adoption rates and the need to improve system performance and processing speed.
- As a result, it will no longer be possible to link Programmatic Guaranteed (PG) deals across multiple line items or campaigns.
- All non-default line items containing PG deals have already stopped serving ads.
Recommended alternatives:
- Use Preferred Deals for similar use cases;
- Or create separate PG deals for each line item.
These changes mark DV360’s move toward a more transparent and efficient measurement system, where budget decisions are based not on technical bid requests, but on real financial performance and actual audience reach.
