To get phone calls to your business, set up a call-only campaign to encourage customers to call you by clicking or tapping your ad. With call-only campaigns, you bid to drive calls to your business instead of clicks to your website. You can set your ads to show only when your business can take calls, so you won’t miss an opportunity to connect with your customers.
This is an informational article about call-only campaigns. For instructions, go to Create a call-only campaign. To add phone numbers to existing text ads, skip to About call extensions.
How they work
Ads created in call-only campaigns are fine-tuned to show only on mobile devices that are capable of making calls. Taps on these ads will only generate calls — they won’t link to a website. These ads are very flexible with how they can appear. To optimize for mobile and enhance performance, your ads may not always show every line of text you enter when setting up your campaign. Likewise, select extensions, which are available for call-only campaigns, may also be hidden in order to make the most of the smaller screen space on mobile devices.
Extensions expand your ad with additional information and can give your ad greater visibility and prominence on the search results page. There’s no cost to add them, and it is recommended that you add all extensions that are relevant to your business. Clicks on your ad (including your extension) will be charged as usual. To learn more about extensions, skip to About extensions.
Here are some key points to know about using call-only campaigns:
- You can share your phone numbers across ads within an ad group or entire campaign
- You can set numbers to show only when your business can take calls
- You can count calls as conversions. Learn more About phone call conversion tracking and About call reporting.
- Clicks on your number are the same cost as headline clicks (a standard CPC)
- Call-only campaigns are not yet available for campaigns targeting the Display Network
- When you create a new ad in your call-only campaign, you’ll be asked to enter a phone number for your business. In order to verify your ad and number, we’ll ask for a verification URL, which should lead to a page that displays your phone number. Learn more about Call-only ad requirements.
- Users in India have the option to place a phone call directly or select the missed call option. If a user selects the missed call option, Google Ads will place one call to the advertiser and another to the user, then connect the calls once both the user and advertiser are on the line. The missed call option is automated, and advertisers don’t need to take any steps to set it up, or to receive calls. Learn more About missed calls in India.
Cost-Per-Phone Call Bidding and reporting
Because call-only campaigns only allow clicks to call, you’re able to bid for calls to your business instead of clicks to your website. This means your cost per click bid should match the value you would place on a phone call from your ad. The default bid strategy is to maximize clicks, or in this case, calls. If you’ve set up conversion tracking for calls, you can use maximize conversions, or Target CPA bidding.
