Label assets that are AI edited or created
AI regulations in the European Union, India, and New York require that ads with certain AI-generated or edited assets include disclosures and/or labels that inform consumers that the ads were made with AI.
Add labels directly to your creatives or use the AI label setting, which will launch gradually throughout July in Google Ads, Display & Video 360, Campaign Manager 360, Merchant Center, and Ads Editor to add AI labels to your creatives. Learn more about how to Use AI content label settings to label your ads.
Notes
- These labels will not be in violation of Google policies prohibiting text overlays and watermarks.
- Use of the AI label setting in Google’s advertising products doesn't guarantee your compliance with specific regulations. Seek legal guidance and take measures as needed to ensure your ads and assets follow all local legal obligations and policies

Reasons why the issue is happening
Some of your products have images with promotional text (retailer logos or calls to action) or watermarks, which can obstruct the view of your product.
How to fix the issue
All products on ads and free listings require an image with an unobstructed view of the product. Products that don’t meet this requirement are disapproved and remain disapproved until their images are updated.
If you want to fix the steps directly in Merchant Center, check the steps below.
Fix products one by one directly in Merchant Center
- Go to Products in Merchant Center, then select the Needs attention tab.
- Use the filter icon
above the table to find all products affected by your issue.
- Click on the title of the product you want to fix, then click Edit product.
- Click on the main product image. In the window that opens, change the URL that you've submitted via the image link
[image_link]attribute so that it points to a valid product image. Make sure the image file located at the submitted URL meets all image overlay requirements. - Select Save.
Fix multiple products at once
- Go to Products in Merchant Center, then select the Needs attention tab.
- Use the filter icon
- Select the Download icon
to download a list (.csv) of all affected products for all issues or this particular issue.
- Cross reference the downloaded list with your uploaded product data, and make sure the URLs that you’ve submitted for each affected product via the image link
[image_link]attribute lead to valid product images. Alternatively, make sure the images at the end of the provided image URLs meet the overlay requirements. - Reupload your corrected product data to Merchant Center using your chosen upload method.
