What is Google Ads Creatives Assistant?

Google Ads Creatives Assistant is an AI assistant crawler. Fetches website content for Google Ads creative generation and enhancement tools.

Google Ads Creatives Assistant helps decide whether you show up in AI answers. It fetches and indexes pages so its assistant can cite them in responses, which means the content it can reach is the content that can be quoted, linked, and recommended to users. For generative engine optimization, keeping Google Ads Creatives Assistant allowed is important: block it and you effectively opt out of being cited on that AI surface.
