For subtitles in your language, turn on YouTube captions. Select the settings icon at the bottom of the video player, then select 'Subtitles/CC' and choose your language.
You can now apply recommendations automatically to your account. When you turn on 'Automatically apply recommendations', the recommendations will be applied regularly. You are always in control, so you can review which recommendations will run on a given day from the queue on the main Recommendations page. From here, you can review recommendation details and dismiss recommendations that do not align with your advertising goals.
At the account level in card view, you’ll find the queue at the bottom of the Recommendations page.
You can either select a set of recommendations from bundles ('Maintain your ads' or 'Grow your business') or manually select recommendations in each category.
Auto-applying recommendations won't increase your budget, so continue to review the Recommendations page to ensure that your budget isn’t limiting your performance. This feature can be turned on or off at any time by updating your auto-apply settings.
How it works
You can automatically apply recommendations from the top bar of the 'Recommendations' section. From there, you’ll be able to select which recommendations you’d like to apply automatically.
Types of recommendations that can be applied automatically
Currently, you can only automatically apply a select number of recommendations. To get a full list of all possible recommendations, review types of recommendations.
Note:
- You can only apply recommendations automatically on the account level.
- Recommendations are only applied when they’re relevant. So, some recommendations may be automatically applied frequently, while others may never be automatically applied.
- You can review the 'History' tab for a summary of recently applied recommendations. You can also visit the 'Change history' page to view or update individually applied recommendations.

It's recommended to comprehensively add negative keywords to exclude search terms from your campaigns. You can add negative keywords across your campaigns through an MCC or individual account. This helps you to focus only on the keywords that matter to your customers.
If you use dynamic keyword insertion (DKI), the search terms not included as negative keywords could appear in your ad text. Additionally, if you’ve turned on auto-apply for the “Add keyword” recommendation and are using DKI, any ad groups using DKI won’t automatically apply the keywords. Learn more about negative keywords
Timing and recommendation queue
When you turn on auto-apply recommendations, we’ll know which recommendations are eligible for you on a daily basis. You can view which recommendations you're opted in to from the 'Manage' or 'History' tab. Learn more about how to manage recommendations that you opt in to apply automatically.
You can also easily find recommendations that are automatically applied from the recommendations table view.
