Google Ads call extensions are available that facilitate people to call your business by showing a phone number with your existing ads.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/call-only-ad-examples.jpg\" alt=\"call only ad examples\"><\/div>\n<p>If user feel he is interested in your ad and to get more inquiry, he will click on the number and make a call.<\/p>\n<p>Same goes with the website or landing page, where you have provided business contact number, user can also click there to call. So do you think if conversion is made like this it goes untraceable? Of course not!<\/p>\n<h2>Call Only Ad Examples:<\/h2>\n<p>There are four types of phone calls that you can track using conversion tracking:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Calls from Ads<\/h3>\n<p>The first type is the calls made directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/google-ads-call-only-campaign\">call only ads<\/a> or call and location extensions used in your PPC ads.<\/p>\n<p>You can specify a minimum call duration and each phone call that lasts at least that long is considered a conversion.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Calls to a Phone Number on Your Site<\/h3>\n<p>The second type is the calls made when somebody clicks on your Google ad and calls the forwarding number displayed on your site.<\/p>\n<p>You can specify a minimum call duration, and every call lasting at least that long is considered a conversion.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Clicks on a Phone Number on the Mobile Version of Your Site<\/h3>\n<p>The third type is the calls made when somebody clicks on your Google ad, then clicks on a phone number, button, or link on your mobile website. However, you can only track clicks, not the phone calls themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Import Call Conversions<\/h3>\n<p>The last type is the calls that you track in another system and import the data into <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/google-ads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Import call conversions provide you with more control over which calls you consider conversions. For instance, you can count calls as conversions only when they include sales, and also include the values of these sales. This provides you with more information on which ads are triggering the most valuable calls for your company.<\/p>\n<p>However, you need to track call details in any other system (for instance, a customer relationship management (CRM) system) and import this information into Google Ads.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Call Tracking?<\/h2>\n<p>Google Ads provide you facility to track your calls if they are made from call enabled extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Almost many companies consider phone calls their most valuable, top-notch lead generation source. Keeping in mind the significance of phone calls, companies and marketers need to trace those calls back to the ads that triggered them.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because when you know where your calls are coming from, you can make intelligent decisions about your advertising budget as well as your sales strategy. Now, the question is:<\/p>\n<p><em>How can you track such phone calls?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Google Ads call tracking is the answer. But before you learn how to track your calls, let\u2019s first take a look at what exactly Google Ads call tracking is, and why it\u2019s important for your business.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Google Ads Call Tracking and How it Tracks from Google Ad Call Extensions?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Ads call tracking is a kind of conversion tracking that lets you know the number of potential consumers who called you after looking or clicking at one of your pay-per-click (PPC) ads.<\/p>\n<p>Google Ads call tracking works in the following two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It tracks calls made to a Google forwarding number that is shown in a call extension ad.<\/li>\n<li>It tracks calls through dynamic number insertion on your site, where a unique tracking number is exchanged for every website visitor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Who Can Use Google Ads Call Tracking?<\/h2>\n<p>Any marketer who wishes to drive phone calls to their company and acquire a better understanding of how their advertising campaign is driving those calls can use Google Ads call tracking.<\/p>\n<p>It helps you see which search keywords are triggering the most calls, as well as your PPC placement&#8217;s general positioning in the search engine results page (SERP) listing.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it also allows you to see the performance breakdown of your ad in terms of demographics and location.<\/p>\n<p>All this information helps you make your Google Ads even more effective in attracting new phone calls, leads, and conversions.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Should You Use Google Ads Call Tracking?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few key benefits of using Google Ads call tracking for your business:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It provides you with actionable insights and comprehensive reporting on the true ROI of your PPC campaigns.<\/li>\n<li>You can clearly measure the return on your sources on paid search investment.<\/li>\n<li>You can better manage phone calls triggered by your PPC placement.<\/li>\n<li>It allows you to trace calls back to particular campaigns and keywords that triggered them.<\/li>\n<li>You can use call conversion data to make improved optimization decisions.<\/li>\n<li>It helps you identify which keywords, ads, ad groups, and campaigns are performing well (i.e., attracting the most valuable calls to your company).<\/li>\n<li>You can use automated bid strategies (like target CPA) that automatically optimize your ad campaigns as per your business objectives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Steps to Implement Google Ads Call Tracking<\/h2>\n<p>Before you set up call tracking on your PPC ads, here are a few requirements that you must fulfill:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You must have a Google Ads account.<\/li>\n<li>You must have at least one active call extension or call-only ad. Make sure that you use a Google forwarding number with \u201ccount calls as phone call conversions\u201d selected.<\/li>\n<li>Your company must be located in one of the countries listed below as forwarding numbers are available in this countries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-1.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: <em>Google Support<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you should do enable call tracking:<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p>Sign in to your Google Ads Account.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the \u2018Tools &amp; Settings\u2019 from the top navigation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-2.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p>Under the measurements, click on the &#8220;conversion&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-3.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3<\/h3>\n<p>Click on the plus icon to add conversion.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-4.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4<\/h3>\n<p>Choose the &#8216;Phone calls&#8217; option.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-5.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5<\/h3>\n<p>Next, select the source of phone calls you want to track and click &#8216;Continue.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-ads-call-tracking-6.jpg\" alt=\"google ads call tracking\"><\/div>\n<p>You can select either you want to track call from ads using call extensions, call to a phone number on your website or clicks on your number on your website.

Click Continue.<\/p>\n<p>8. The next step is to create a conversion action.

Google Ads also offers plenty of extra features that work along with your call analytics.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these features include:<\/p>\n<h3>Click to Call (CTC)<\/h3>\n<p>Although many paid advertisements drive traffic to sites, Google Ads has a feature called Click to Call (CTC) that calls on a company\u2019s phone number once the user clicks on an ad which can only appear on mobile devices from where call can be done.<\/p>\n<p>The Google Ads integrates with Analytics to keep track of CTC similar to typical PPC campaigns. Therefore, you can monitor which of your ads are attracting the most phone calls in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile-friendly CTC feature also allows you to track conversions depending on the phone call duration. This makes your reporting a lot more flexible.<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile and Desktop Insights<\/h3>\n<p>Google Ads also offers analytics that shows whether the ad was viewed on a mobile platform or desktop. This allows you to better optimize your ad campaigns for particular devices and audiences.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at your call campaign data in Google Ads, click on the \u2018Segment\u2018 button to see important data such as click through rates (CTRs), conversion rates, and impressions for different devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Limitations of Google Ads Call Tracking<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most significant limitations of Google Ads call tracking is that every phone number generated by Google is the property of Google. This means you cannot use it anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>At present, Google does not offer its Click to Call (CTC) feature for Display Network ads. This means you cannot drive calls directly from image-based ads.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrap Up<\/h2>\n<p>There you have it: a detailed guide on how to set up Google Ads call tracking.<\/p>\n<p>It helps you gauge the number of phone calls you receive from prospective customers who land on your website as a result of an advertisement from one of your Google Ads campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how to use it, it\u2019s time to put this powerful tool to work so you can get better at <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/what-are-the-steps-of-conversion-optimization\">optimizing your PPC campaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><p>Google Ads call tracking is a powerful freeway that helps you better optimize your PPC campaigns to get the most ROI.<\/p>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/call-only-ad-examples\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[785],"tags":[276],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
