Change the text of a published ad from the IQ chat
Updated 2026-10-17
In CustomIQ changing the text of a published ad from the IQ chat is not available yet. No platform lets you edit a published ad's text: a new one is created. Today, on Google Ads, use "Optimize my campaign" and review the new-ad proposal; on Meta, "Add a creative to my campaign".
What is changing a published ad's text in CustomIQ?
It's an IQ Chat action that will create a new ad with the text you ask for and offer to pause the old one. It isn't available from the chat yet; today you do it with the optimization (Google Ads) or by adding a creative (Meta).
How will I ask for it in the chat?
By typing "Change the text of my Google ads" or "Change the text of my published Meta ad: more urgent". The chat will pick the campaign with you and take you to the right step for each platform.
What do I need first?
A published campaign on Google Ads or Meta; you see them in Campaigns. For unpublished campaigns, use "Review the creatives".
How much does it cost?
On Google Ads, generating the new ad costs 1 credit. On Meta, the new ad costs the same as adding a creative.
Steps
- On Google Ads. Type "Optimize my campaign" and, on the card, review the proposal "New ad with new headlines and descriptions".
- On Meta. Type "Add a creative to my campaign" and tell the chat the angle you want; you see the ad before it publishes.
- If it isn't published yet. Type "Review the creatives" to change the exact text before publishing the campaign.
Frequently asked questions
- Why can't a published ad's text be edited?
- Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn don't allow it. A new ad with the new text is created and the old one is paused.
- How much does the new Google Ads ad cost?
- Generating the ad proposal costs 1 credit; creating it on Google Ads costs nothing more.
- What happens to the old ad?
- On Google Ads it keeps running until you pause it in Google Ads. On Meta you can pause it from Campaigns or in Meta Ads Manager.
