How Do Click to Call Extensions Work?

Click-to-call, call-only campaigns are different from call extensions in Google Ads. Call extensions add a phone number and/or a click-to-call button to your existing call ads. Users can click on your website or tap the call button to contact your business. In call-only campaigns, the user can directly call for your business only through advertising. It cannot click on your website. Ads created in call-only campaigns are set to show only on mobile devices that can make calls, so they don’t show on desktops or tablets that can’t call. Data such as call conversions are available for call-only campaigns, just as with call extensions.

 

If the ad is viewed from a supported device (tablet or smartphone), the ad will display a clickable button with your phone number. In advertisements, your phone number will be placed next to the title of the advertisement. However, if the user is arriving from a device where calls are not supported e.g. desktop, the button will not be shown.

 

Call-only extensions are especially valuable for local campaigns and campaigns where mobile impressions are likely. If you’re making a significant call volume, PPC tracking via call metrics or another vendor is a very important step in optimizing your Google Ads campaigns. When a user clicks on your phone number, the call reporting feature can be turned on so that click can be counted as a conversion. Later, this metric can be tracked on the KPI dashboard and the analyzes can be interpreted to optimize the campaigns in the following months.

 

How Does User Charged in Click To Call Ads in Google Ads?

 

Google Ads charges advertisers for click-to-call ads based on a cost-per-click (CPC) model, where advertisers pay each time someone clicks on the phone number displayed in the ad. The CPC for click-to-call ads can vary depending on several factors, such as the target audience, keywords, and competition for ad space.

Advertisers can set a maximum CPC bid for their click-to-call ads, which is the highest amount they are willing to pay for each click. Google Ads will then use this information to determine the most cost-effective advertising strategies and show the ad to the most relevant audience.
