Microsoft Ad Assist adds autogenerated assets to RSAs with incomplete text

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Microsoft Advertising is rolling out autogenerated assets to Responsive Search Ads that lack the maximum number of user-supplied text assets. The feature uses AI to generate fresh, relevant ad copy for campaigns with insufficient or infrequently updated assets, which Microsoft reports underperform compared to campaigns with full asset volume.

What changed

Sensitive industries are excluded, and autogenerated asset settings from recurring Google imports are honoured. Opt-out is available at the campaign level.

For you, this means auditing RSA asset counts across accounts before the rollout reaches your campaigns: autogenerated copy should be reviewed against brand guidelines, and opt-out applied to any campaigns where messaging precision is critical.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means four actions: check PMax landing page reports against Clarity; test NCA goals ahead of peak season; set seasonality adjustments for any upcoming short-term promotional events; and audit Ad Assist RSA outputs against brand guidelines.
