Gave up waiting for the MCM invite
Filled the form, sent the Ad Manager network code, then silence. After a month I cancelled and got approved with another MCM partner in days. Maybe fine for large networks, not for me.

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

Fine for bigger sites only
Waytogrow is legit, but the process is built for established publishers. If you run one small site expect a slow AdX approval and little hand-holding on ads.txt or GAM ad unit setup.
Average split, average service
Nothing broken, nothing exciting. Reporting refreshes once a day, tickets take two to three days and the 60-70% split is middle of the pack. Fine as a Google Ad Manager route if you are not in a hurry.
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.
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.
Too slow for AdX approval
Signed up with a lifestyle magazine and waited weeks for the MCM invite. Waytogrow eventually got AdX running, but communication was thin and I had to chase every update. Other partners in this directory approved me far faster.
