Need help upgrading to expanded text ads?

[Nadine Sundquist (AdWords API Team)]

Greetings AdWords API Community!

We announced that you have until January 31, 2017 to upgrade from standard text ads to expanded text ads. You will no longer be able to create new standard text ads starting on January 31st even though those ads will continue to serve. My team wants to know how we can help, since we noticed that some people are still creating standard text ads.

Please reply to this forum thread if you:

• Have questions

• Need help upgrading

• Want to +1 someone’s idea on how we can help

Let’s get these ads upgraded together!
