Dynamic business information assets
To help get you started, Google Ads will crawl your website and dynamically create a business name and business logo for you. These assets are viewable in the "Assets" tab in your Google Ads account and can be removed. Alternatively, you can choose to provide your own assets (business logo and business name) as described below. If Google Ads was unable to crawl and find eligible assets on your website OR if you currently do not meet the eligibility criteria, your ads will show your display URL and a placeholder logo.
Business information assets
You can add business information assets at both the "account" and "campaign" level.
- You can upload one business name and one business logo at the account level.
- You can upload one business name and one business logo under each campaign. You may apply the same business name and business logo to multiple campaigns.
If you uploaded business information assets at both the campaign level and the account level, campaign-level assets will always serve over account-level assets.

Best practices
- Create the right business representation assets based on your account structure
The business name and logo you provide should be relevant to all ad groups under a given campaign. If you decide to link the same asset to multiple campaigns, make sure your asset is relevant to all of these campaigns.
Note: Review decisions of an asset for one campaign can affect the serving of that asset for all associated campaigns.
- Consistent assets for a given domain
To provide the best user experience, Google recommends using one business name and one logo for a given domain name, across all of your campaigns and accounts. Google may stop serving your business information assets, if inconsistencies across different accounts are recognized. Your ad will continue to serve but default to the display URL and placeholder logo.
