Ad extensions are a type of ad format that show extra information (“extending” from your text ads) about your business. Some can be added manually and others are automated.
Automated Extensions: AdWords creates and displays the automated extensions formats (seller ratings, consumer ratings, social extensions, and previous visits) when it predicts that they’ll improve your ad’s performance. No setup is required, so the option to create automated extensions doesn't appear in the drop-down menu of the Ad extensions tab.
