The more information you input, the more keywords, headlines and descriptions it will generate.
It will guide you through the best keywords and assets to reach your specific goals. As soon as you add your URL, it will start creating a description of your business. The good news is, it is still fully editable. Where it would previously pull images from the URL you supply, it now also includes relevant stock images. The more details you add, the more accurate the suggestions it feeds back, improving your ad strength as it goes.
