Following aresome of the Prompts you can add while using Assets Studio

Step 1: Understand What Google Wants (Very Simple)

For every prompt, Google wants 4 things:

1. Subject – What is it?
2. Color – Product color
3. Background – Where is it placed?
4. Style / Mood – Premium, casual, tech, lifestyle, etc.

If any of these are missing → Google shows that warning.

Step 2: Use This Simple Prompt Formula (Remember This)

Create an image of [SUBJECT],
in [COLOR],
with [BACKGROUND],
in a [STYLE / MOOD] style.

This single formula will solve 90% of Asset Studio warnings.
