What is a GMP Reseller?
A GMP reseller is a Google-authorized agency that provisions Google Marketing Platform seats (DV360, SA360, CM360) to advertisers, usually with a small media markup. Reselling exists because Google doesn't sell GMP direct to most advertisers; you need either internal scale or a partner.
Why GMP reselling exists
Google sells GMP only to advertisers who meet enterprise spend thresholds (typically $30K+/month). Smaller advertisers, or any advertiser who doesn't want a long-term commitment, accesses GMP through a reseller agency seat.
How reseller pricing works
The reseller charges either a flat seat fee, a percentage of media spend (commonly 5 to 15%), or a hybrid. Tech fees from Google still apply on top. Real cost varies wildly by reseller - shop the structure.
What to look for in a reseller
Google partner status, GMP product certifications, transparent pricing, contract flexibility (no annual lock-in), inventory access (what publishers and DSPs they bring), and quality of operational support.
