gads_create_expanded_text_ad

Google Ads tool (extended/low-level coverage). For common tasks prefer the RECOMMENDED google_ads_* actions; use these only for advanced operations those don't cover. Create a legacy Expanded Text Ad (ETA). ETAs are deprecated for new creation in most accounts but may be supported in specific verticals or for historical work.

This is a write tool: it creates expanded text ad in your Google Ads account. Claude asks you to confirm before it runs.
