About call extensions Call extensions let you add phone numbers to your ads, which can significantly increase clickthrough rates. When your call extensions appear, people can tap or click a button to call your business directly. That means more customer engagement with your ads, and more chances for you to get and track your conversions. Before you begin Call extensions are the easiest way to add phone numbers to existing ads. If you attempt to include a phone number elsewhere in your ad text, it may lead to the disapproval of the ad, so if you would like to include a phone number, it is best to use a call extension. You can also create call campaigns. Example You own a pizzeria in downtown Chicago, so you add a call extension to your campaign promoting deep-dish pizzas. If a visitor to the windy city searches for “Chicago pizza” on their phone and one of your ads is triggered, this visitor can click through to your website to read your menu or tap the call button on your ad to go straight to your ordering line. How it works Here are key points to know about call extensions: Phone or website: When your call extensions appear with your ad, people see your number or, when their device can make calls, a clickable call button. People can also click on your ad to go to your website. Business hours: You can set numbers to appear only when your business can take calls. A call is a click: These clicks on your number cost the same as headline clicks (a standard CPC). Easy conversion tracking: You can count calls as conversions by turning on call reporting in your account. Only available on the Search Network, call reporting uses Google forwarding numbers to give you detailed conversion information. Call extensions won't serve with every impression Like other ad extensions, call extensions don't appear with every ad impression. When the ad auction runs, an algorithm determines whether to show the call extension, and any other extensions to show next to it, based on historical performance and other factors. It is completely normal for call extensions to appear for only a subset of total ad impressions. However, you can do bid adjustments to show your call interaction ads more often.
