Google tests "included or missing words" inside paid ads
Google appears to be testing the organic "included or missing words" SERP feature directly in paid ads. In the flagged example, the words were present in the ad, suggesting the automated check misread the creative.

For you, this means another organic feature is crossing into ads, so monitor how your ads render on affected queries.
