How do I set up the Admiral Key-Value pair in my Google Ad Manager account?

In order to give publishers deeper insight into recovered revenue, we set a key/value pair that can be queried in GAM.

Using an Acceptable Ads vendor? You will need to implement this report as well. 

About the admiral-engaged key-value

Revenue and impressions with the admiral-engaged key set have been recovered via the Engage product. To generate impressions with the admiral-engaged key/value set, a visitor must have seen the Admiral Engage with an active adblocker and subsequently disable their adblocker within 30 days.

If the Admiral script installed on your property does not contain "-engaged" you'll need to replace it with the install script that is in your property's Install tab.

Additional documentation on how to set up KVPs in GAM can be found here:  https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/188092?hl=en

Admiral takes care of adding the KVPs to your ad calls, so you can ignore that portion of Google's documentation.

Once this configuration is complete, future data will be queryable by adding this custom criteria filter to your queries:
