Rejected over the traffic minimum
Turned down because of the 50,000+ pageviews/mo minimum after two weeks of emails, and nobody told me until I followed up. If you are a growing publisher looking for fast AdX approval, look elsewhere first.

Pros
- Fully managed setup: the partner handles ad ops, wrappers and demand for you
- Works with long-tail inventory that larger partners often decline
- Clear, published eligibility criteria before you apply
Cons
- Manage Inventory means the partner, not you, owns the Google Ad Manager network and reporting
- Slower onboarding and thinner support reported in publisher reviews
- Requires roughly 50,000 monthly pageviews, which excludes smaller sites

Works, but approval took a while
AdX approval with ShowHeroes took around 2-4 weeks for a finance blog, longer than promised. Once the MCM request was accepted everything ran fine, but the waiting and the 50,000+ pageviews/mo requirement will block smaller publishers.
Revenue up, paperwork heavy
Numbers improved after moving my inventory to ShowHeroes, no complaints there. Getting the MCM Manage Account approved took contracts, an invoice setup and a manual review of a finance blog. Worth it, but plan a couple of weeks.
Good support during onboarding
Support answered inside a day during the AdX approval process and explained the managed inventory model clearly. eCPM went up compared to plain AdSense. Dashboard is basic, so I still open Ad Manager for the real breakdowns.
