# Suggest Google Ads search themes

`POST /api/apps/{app_id}/google-ads/suggestions/search-themes`

<Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Suggests search themes for a Performance Max campaign.

Search themes tell Google what the campaign is about when there are no keywords to match on. Nothing is saved: pass the ones you want to [Create campaign](/api-reference/create-google-ads-campaign).

You get at most 10 themes, each trimmed to 80 characters, and themes naming the platform itself are dropped. An empty list is a 200, so check the array rather than the status code.

<Note>This endpoint runs a language model and draws on a shared quota of 20 requests per minute per app, which every Google Ads AI endpoint debits. Enterprise workspaces get a higher quota. A 429 means the quota is spent, not that this endpoint has its own limit.</Note>

<Note>The copy is written in the language you send in the `Accept-Language` header. Omit the header and you get English — the app's own language is not consulted — so send it explicitly for a non-English app.</Note>

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key. Workspace API keys are not authorized for it and are rejected with a 403.</Note>

## Path parameters

- `app_id` string, required — ID of the app you are planning a Google Ads campaign for.

## Headers

- `Accept-Language` string, nullable — Language to return generated text in, as a standard `Accept-Language` value. An unsupported language falls back to English.

## Request body

- SearchThemesRequest
  - `business_name` string — Name of the business the campaign is for.
  - `business_description` string — What the business sells, in a sentence or two.
  - `landing_page_url` string — Page the campaign sends people to. Used as context.

## Response `200`

Suggested search themes.

- GoogleAdsSearchThemes — Short themes describing what a Performance Max campaign should match.
  - `search_themes` string[], required — Up to 10 themes, each at most 80 characters. Pass them as `search_themes` when you create a Performance Max campaign. An empty list means the model returned nothing usable.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid credentials.
- `403` — You don't have access to this app, the app does not exist, or you used a workspace API key. A missing app and an app you cannot reach are deliberately the same answer.
- `422` — Validation Error
- `429` — The shared AI quota for this app is spent. Retry in a minute.
