This change leaves advertisers without automated suggestions for targeting specific audiences. 

A tweet from Melissa L Mackey (@beyondthepaid) states: "So apparently Google Ads removed Audience Recommendations from the Insights tab. This was one of the sections we used the most to discover new audiences for layering. Sad #ppcchat". Timestamp: 11:11 AM · Aug 9, 2024, 582 Views.

This news was highlighted by Melissa L Mackey and Adriaan Dekker.

UPDATE #1: It appears to be a bug affecting specific accounts, as other PPC marketers can still see this section on the Insights page.

UPDATE #2: Ginny Marvin confirmed, that Audience Insights are not going to be removed. The feature not appearing for some accounts is caused by a glitch and Google is working on it.

A social media post by @MilezGrey asking @AdsLiaison if "AUDIENCE INSIGHTS" will return to Google Ads. @AdsLiaison responds, assuring that Audience Insights is not being removed and the team is addressing an issue causing it to stop showing in some accounts. Expect improved Audience Recommendations soon!
