To get phone calls of your customer to your business, you need to set up a call campaign to encourage customers to call you by clicking or tapping your ad. You can set your ads to appear only when your business can take calls, so you won’t miss a chance to connect with your customers.
Ads created in call only campaigns are tweak to show only on devices that are capable of making calls i.e mobile and tablet. These ads are very flexible with how they can show. To optimize for mobile and improve performance, your ads may not always display every line of text you enter when setting up your campaign. Likewise, select extensions, which are available for call campaigns, may also not show in order to make the most of the smaller screen space on mobile devices. Extensions broaden your ad with additional information and can also give your ad greater presence and prominence on the search results page. There is no additional cost to add extensions, and it is recommended that you add all extensions that are relevant to your business. Clicks on your ad will be charged as usual with extension rather cheaper as extensions are an important factor to improve quality score and reduce cost per click (CPC).
If you leave the Final URL field on your call ads blank, yet your call campaigns will only allow clicks to call. In this case, you’re able to bid for calls to your business instead of clicks to your website. This means your maximum cost per click (CPC) should match the value you would place on a phone call from your ad. Your default bid strategy is maximize clicks, or in case of call campaigns, it’s calls. If you already set up conversion tracking for calls, you can use maximize conversions, or Target CPA bid strategy.
Calls from your ads will display under the “Clicks” column in your reporting dashboard for each call campaign.

In addition to the details you provide during ad creation, extensions, including location extensions, structured snippet extensions, and callout extensions, are also eligible to show with your call only ad.
