Google Ad Extensions can help put your business on the map – literally! By giving searchers more space and additional information, they make it easier for them to find what they're looking for and choose you as their final destination.
Google Ad Extensions give your search ad placements a boost! These assets add extra information to ads, making them more engaging and relevant to your audience. This leads to an improved user experience and can help maximize ad impact.
Ad extensions are free and allow you to reach customers with additional elements such as sitelinks, phone numbers, addresses, and much more—all without spending extra money. While these additions won't always appear as part of your ad due to factors like page placement or Google's algorithm's analysis of past data, they can still help you stand out to potential customers.
Ad extensions give you more space to explain why someone should click on your ad, but their size also makes them instantly eye-catching – improving the reach of any campaign.
Ad extensions can increase your click-through rate (CTR), but they also help filter out poor-quality leads by providing more information. This will save your PPC budget, as high-quality prospects will take the desired actions – making this tool valuable for advertisers.
Furthermore, ad extensions are also attractive to Google; when used correctly, these tools improve ad ranking due to the greater variety of formats offered, which makes it much easier for Google to determine expected CTRs.
You can easily create ad extensions for your Google Ads account in just a few clicks. Simply log in to get started – then you'll find the "Ads & Extensions" tab on the left and click on "Extensions".
The '+' button in the upper left corner of your extensions page gives you access to Google's extensive selection of extension options. Each one requires their approval, but don't worry, the process is clear and simple! Furthermore, once an extension has been created for your account/campaigns/ad groups, Google Ads Editor provides valuable insights into its performance metrics, such as click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rates.
Generally, there are two extension categories: manual and automated. Most of the extensions listed below are manual extensions.
In February 2022, Google made some changes to automated extensions! Advertisers can now enhance their SERPs and generate more clicks by using automated sitelinks, callouts, and structured snippets. As an added bonus, they are fully customizable from the ad group to the account level.
Google Ads offers 10 different ad types and numerous ways to customize and amplify your message. Get a detailed look at the most important ones—from how they work and where they appear on a search page to step-by-step instructions for adding them—so you can choose the right one for you. Jump directly to the type that best suits your needs or explore all the possibilities.
Location Extensions help make your business more accessible! By automating the process of listing all your locations and contact information in one place—including a map showing your proximity—customers can easily find exactly what they need. Perfect for restaurants, retail stores, and service providers like hairdressers or salons.
A physical address also lends more credibility to an online business in the eyes of potential customers. Location extensions can also include your phone number and business hours to improve customer satisfaction and make it easier for customers to contact you.
Select Location Extensions from the Extension Options menu and choose the level if you want to set up Local Extension.
Product extensions allow you to showcase your product list. This makes them very useful for online stores.
By using product extensions, you can stand out in search engine results and reach more consumers.
Product extensions offer a great opportunity to share information about your products or services with potential customers, which can be much more valuable than designs alone.
Want to use Product Extensions? You'll need a Merchant Center Product Feed! It's important to stay up-to-date on data feed requirements and best practices to ensure your products are presented in the best possible way.
It is important that your target audience finds what they are looking for on your website in order to create an engaging experience and increase the click-through rate.
Sitelink extensions offer a great way to direct users to where you want them to go and let them choose the destination that best suits their needs – making them more likely to stay longer! Typical sitelinks include contact pages, pricing pages, service pages, and testimonials pages.
Google Seller Ratings offers customers a way to rate your business as soon as they land on one of your ads within a search engine.
Powered by automated customer reviews from trusted sources like Google itself, you can be sure that these reviews accurately reflect how satisfied previous customers were with the products or services you provided – giving potential customers more control over who they do business with online!
Companies that use Seller Ratings in their Google Ads campaigns benefit from higher engagement, more web traffic, and ultimately higher sales.
Unlike other extensions, Google Seller Rating has specific requirements:
Callout extensions allow you to present special sales arguments and discounts while simultaneously highlighting important information about yourself. It's an effective way to draw customers' attention to what you have to offer.
They can be up to 25 characters long. Common examples of callouts are: "25% discount", "Only 3 left in stock", "Free cancellation", etc.
Get creative with your callout extensions! Showcase different perspectives of your product by avoiding repetition and ensuring each description is unique. This will keep viewers engaged and interested in what you have to offer.
Call Extension lets you connect your business directly with potential customers. This tool, available on both mobile and desktop ads, makes connecting with people even easier – they'll see a specific phone number below or next to an ad, allowing them to connect instantly!
Call extensions appear as phone numbers or a phone icon around your ad, which customers can click to make a call directly.
With just one click on a phone number, they are connected instantly – no effort, just convenience! This is the perfect way for customers to get in touch quickly, so you don't lose any valuable leads.
