Is Google Adwords programmatic?
Though Google Ads (formerly called Google Adwords) has the most of the targeting capabilities of a programmatic platform, it is not programmatic since they are limited to their search engine and partner site for displaying ads. Also, data-wise they use their data, but the programmatic platform uses the combinations of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party data to evaluate each user before serving the relevant ads.
We would love to have your opinion.
