Sellers.json is an
IAB Tech Lab standard that makes the advertising ecosystem more open and helps fight fraud.
Sellers.json operates via a file of seller details which is publicly accessible. Publishers may choose to share their person name or business name in the file (depending on the form of their
AdSense account). This provides marketers with a secure way to reveal and check publisher identity.
We encourage you to make your information transparent and allow listing of your person or business name. This will help advertisers review their inventory. If your identity is not made clear, marketers can not see your name, which may have an effect on your income.
seller_id: Your 16-digit publisher code, e.g., pub-1234567890123456.
is_confidential: When true, your name and domain are not listed in the sellers.json file.
seller_type:
PUBLISHER or
INTERMEDIARY or
BOTH. If you own the site you're monetizing and/or you're paid directly by Google, then you're classified as
PUBLISHER. If not, you're classified as
INTERMEDIARY. If you belong in both categories, you're classified as
BOTH.
name: Your seller name. This is the name shown in either the "Name and address" section (individual accounts) or the "Business name and address" section (business accounts) of your payments profile.
Note: If you change your name, this will result in an automatic payment delay of 2 weeks.
domain: Your business domain (e.g., example.com). This is the domain that advertisers can use to learn about your business. If the only domain you own is the one you monetize with AdSense, then you should list that domain.
If you're an
INTERMEDIARY, this is the domain where your sellers.json file can be found.

How to make your seller information transparent
* Sign in to your
AdSense account.
* Click Account.
* On your "
Account information" page,
click Edit Edit next to "
Seller information visibility".
Select Transparent.* Add your business domain name if you have one.
Your name, domain (if included), and your publisher ID will appear in the Google sellers.json file.
ExampleIn this example, the publisher has made their information transparent in the Google sellers.json file. This is what advertisers see:"sellerId": "pub-1234567890123456",
"sellerType": "PUBLISHER",
"name": "Example Company Inc."Your business domain is the domain for your corporate entity, not necessarily the domain where inventory is being monetized.
Your business domain name may be hidden in sellers.json until we have verified that you own the URL.
Note: If you don't have a web presence or your account is set to confidential, you do not need to provide a domain.
Use the root domain. Domain names should not include “www” or the scheme (namely, “https://” “http://”, or “ftp://”). Your domain should use a public suffix. Top-level domains should not include the preceding dot.Intermediary transparency
An account with a seller type of INTERMEDIARY sells inventory in AdSense which is not owned by the account or is not paid directly by Google.
Intermediaries and accounts with a seller type of BOTH have is_confidential set to false by default. They do not have access to the “Seller information visibility” control.
Your information in Google’s sellers.json fileReview Google’s sellers.json file at
realtimebidding.google.com/sellers.json.
If you have one or more accounts with AdSense, AdMob, or Ad Manager, you will appear in the sellers.json for each product. Your seller_id is unique to each product, but your transparency status and domain will be shared across all products. It’s not possible to be confidential for one product and transparent in another.
If you edit your business information for sellers.json in either AdSense, AdMob, or Ad Manager, your information will update across all products.
