Choosing an SSP is one of the most important decisions a publisher makes. The right partner should align with your traffic profile, content category, technical capabilities, and growth stage. Key evaluation criteria include:
- Demand Partner Coverage: More demand partners create more competition per impression, driving higher CPMs. Ask each SSP how many unique demand partners actively bid on your specific traffic type.
- Account Management: Self-serve platforms require internal expertise. Managed SSPs like Stellor Media provide dedicated account managers who handle optimization proactively.
- Onboarding Speed: Time to revenue matters. Stellor Media's 48-hour onboarding versus enterprise integration timelines at some competitors represents real revenue opportunity.
- Transparency: Request clear revenue share terms and regular reporting. Opaque revenue share structures can mask performance differences between platforms.
- Test Before Committing: Most SSPs, including Stellor Media, allow you to run header bidding tests alongside existing partners before making any changes to your primary setup.
We encourage publishers to run head-to-head tests rather than relying solely on published comparisons. Your specific traffic, content, and audience will determine which platform delivers the best results for your site.
