Can I apply Google recommendations directly through Ads Editor?
Yes. The light bulb button at the top of Google Ads opens the Recommendations modal, with the account's Optimization Score at the top.
Each recommendation is explained in plain language: what it proposes, the current and suggested values (budget, keyword, CPA or ROAS, text), what changes if you apply it, Google's estimate and how many points your score goes up. When several recommendations are of the same type, Google reports a single gain for the whole group.
Apply and Dismiss ask for confirmation and show what will change, and you can dismiss several at once. Budget and bid recommendations are applied one at a time, with a warning. For recommendations Google doesn't let third-party tools apply directly (such as creating Performance Max campaigns or extensions), Ads Editor handles them through its own flow, for example Create campaign. Review each one before applying: the recommendations come from Google, and not all of them fit your strategy.
