Question: What is the most accurate description of Discovery ads?
- Discovery ads can showcase a company's brand or products with a collage of images or a five-second video.
- Discovery ads are created entirely from machine learning, based on themes from the keywords a company selects.
- Discovery ads can give a company a stronger marketing presence on three Google platforms: Shopping, News, and Maps.
- Discovery ads can showcase a company's brand or products with a single high-quality image or swipeable image carousel.
Explanation
Discovery ads are defined by visual feed formats built from image ads and carousel ads. Google’s documentation describes these formats as a single image ad or multiple images in a carousel, which matches a single high-quality image or a swipeable image carousel. That makes this description accurate because it reflects the native visual formats used in these placements. It is not a format defined by keyword-generated creatives or by placement across Shopping, News, and Maps. Google Help+2Google Help+2
