An Audience has no slot for a combined audience or a bid adjustment, and Demand Gen has no observation mode, so those three are refused there rather than dropped.

  - `extensions` ExtensionsModel: Assets linked to the campaign itself, rather than to an ad or asset group. The brand blocks at the bottom are campaign assets in the same way sitelinks are, so they reach a Performance Max or Demand Gen campaign without going through an asset group. Two different logo field types, which is the thing that trips people up: `logos` and `landscape_logos` are LOGO / LANDSCAPE_LOGO, which Google refuses on SEARCH ("The specified field type is incompatible with the given campaign type"), while `business_logos` is BUSINESS_LOGO — the Business logo that Google's own Search campaign UI offers, read alongside business_name. There is still no images block: Google refuses AD_IMAGE as an asset link on any campaign type, measured against a live account.
