Google have recently added a nice little enhancement to its Adwords service. You can now add a phone number to a text ad so that users can click on that ad and instantly dial your number. This is clearly to help mobile user to connect more easily with advertisers.

All non-clickable phone numbers displayed in AdWords ad text will be automatically converted into a Click-to-call number.

You will need to activate this on your account and once in place users will be able to click the phone number directly. The interesting bit is that you will only be charged for the clicks that result in a call.

And by getting the cofiguration right, you can get an extra line on your ad, making it larger, more appealing and more likely to get clicks.

Tracking will allow you to review how many calls you receive on the clickable phone number listed in your ad text for each campaign, ad group, keyword and ad on the Campaigns tab in your AdWords account.

If you would like to help configuring Adwords to get the best out of this new feature then just get in touch.
