Cassie from Google said in the Google AdWords Help forums that you can now disable automated ad extensions directly from the AdWords interface.

I guess this is a new feature and you were not able to disable the feature, the automated ad extensions, prior to now.

How do you do it?

  1. Sign into your AdWords account.
  2. Click the Ad extensions tab.
  3. Click the “View” dropdown and select Automated extensions report.
  4. Click Automated extension options (advanced).
  5. Click Edit next to “Show all automated extensions for this account”.
  6. Click Exclude specific automated extensions for this account.
  7. Check the box next to the automated extension you’d like to disable.
  8. Click Save.
