About Google Ads dynamic ad groups in Search Ads 360

Formerly, you could create dynamic search ads in any Google Ads ad group if the campaign was set up for dynamic search ads. Now, Google Ads has added a dynamic ad group that is dedicated to dynamic search ads. That is, a dynamic ad group can contain only dynamic search ads. The original, now known as standard ad group, still remains for other types of ads such as call-only ads and text ads.

Because dynamic search ads are trigged by dynamic ad targets and not keywords, keywords aren't necessary in dynamic ad groups.

Dynamic search ads and dynamic ad groups can only be created in Google Ads campaigns that are set up for dynamic search ads.
