Google has released version 2.3 of the Google Ads Editor, this comes four and a half months since version 2.2 was released in November 2022. The new version gains image assets, location assets, b business information assets, PMAX text asset automation, bid explorer, and much more.
Here is the full list of changes you can expect in version 2.3 of Google Ads Editor.

- Location assets. Legacy location assets are being migrated to upgraded assets.
- Business information assets. Complement text ads with your business information, such as name and logo.
Primary Display Status buttons: Certain Primary Display Status (PDS) reasons are now clickable buttons. For example, you can click on the reason why a campaign may not be serving and go to a page where you can fix the issue. The “Limited by budget” PDS button opens the edit panel on the budget text field, while the “Limited by bidding target” PDS button opens the edit panel on the bid strategy field.
Primary Display Status support: More PDS reasons are also available, including: Limited by bidding target and Limited by budget soon.

Notifications: More notification types are now available in Editor 2.3. Editor users will now be more fully informed about the status of and key events occurring for their accounts. For notifications where the issue can be resolved in Editor, users can do so immediately. For notifications that require a visit to Google Ads online, deep links will be provided to the page in question.
Google also deprecated these two features:

Google Home Page: Memorial Day

Today, like previous years, Google has posted a grayed-out logo and a small US flag, to commemorate Memorial Day in the US. I will not be posting stories today, to respect the holiday.
Here is what it looks like:
Google also has a grayed-put logo at the top left of its search results page. Google has historically done nothing for the day, but in 2019 Google went with a grayed out logo and flag theme. They did the same thing this year.
Wishing you all a safe, healthy, peaceful and nice Memorial Day.

Google Replaced Trusted Store Badge With Top Quality Store Badge

Google has replaced the “Trusted Store” badge in the product results within Google Search with a “Top Quality Store” badge. Google said, “there’s no action you need to take, and the update will not affect your performance metrics at all.”
Here is an example of the new Top Quality Store badge:
Google added, “We’re updating the “Trusted Store” badge, so now when you score an excellent rating on your Shopping experience scorecard, the badge will say “Top Quality Store” instead.” Note that the Shopping experience scorecard program is only available if you’re participating in Buy on Google or free listings in the US, AU, NZ, and CA.
The Google Trusted Stores program to all U.S. merchants back in 2012, along with that came a badge in the search results to make those listings stand out. FYI – here is how to qualify for this trusted store badge.
Here is the old “trusted store” version:

Google Bard Gains Images

As Google announced a week or so ago, Bard now can show images in the responses. Jack Krawczyk said on Twitter that you can “click an image to see the source for each one,” and that “Bard includes images in relevant responses and also when you specifically ask for them, starting with English.”
Google Bard can now bring in images from Google Search and you can also ask Bard for images directly. Plus, Google Bard will show a source for each image.
I tried it myself and the first two requests were pretty solid. Well, okay, it lied, I am not thin, nor am I tall, but I’ll take it. But then when I asked it to merge the two of us, it didn’t work too well (not that I expected that to work):
It shows local results also:
New in bard.

It will get better over time, but it is nice to see these chat features from Google and Bing get more visual.
