The ideal clients have clarity about what they're trying to achieve from AI and the outcomes and metrics they want from it. - paraphrasing from #ThinkLeads@GoogleAds@McKinsey
First there were brand guidelines . . . Now there are text guidelines . . .
✨Text guidelines help you give the system more creative guidance when you’re using text customization in AI Max for Search or PMax campaigns.
How’s it work?
There are two ways to refine the text in your generated assets:
Term exclusions: Add up to 25 exact words or phrases that you want excluded. Never want to see “cheap” used in your generated assets? Just add it as a term exclusion!
Message restrictions: Use natural language to specify concepts, associations or styles to avoid in your text assets.
For example, saying “Don’t imply our products are discounted,” would help ensure terms like discount, cheap, bargain and phrases associated with “discounted” don’t appear in your asset.
You can add up to 40 restrictions per campaign.
I highly recommend checking out more examples in the Help Center page below to craft effective message restrictions.
Text guidelines will start rolling out to more advertisers this fall.

Gap between aspiration and impact when it comes to AI right now. So much easier to talk about it than it is to figure out how to make it concrete. #ThinkLeads
