Google Ads introduces text guidelines for AI-generated assets to improve creative control in AI Max for Search or PMax campaigns. Users can refine text by adding up to 25 term exclusions to block specific words or phrases and up to 40 message restrictions to avoid certain concepts or styles. These guidelines help prevent unwanted terms like "cheap" or "discount" from appearing. Rollout begins this fall.
Upload all Meta ad types in bulk directly from Google Sheets, single image, video, carousel, and flexible ads. Control placements, multiple headlines, primary texts, descriptions, and creatives from one spreadsheet. Built for agencies and teams managing dozens of ads across multiple accounts, helping you launch faster, stay consistent, and avoid costly manual errors.

Google clarified that these are "Promoted Pins," which have been around for a while and only appear if the screen is tapped, disappearing quickly. These ads are designed to avoid driver distraction.
