Calls are often the highest-value conversion. Learn how to run call-focused Google campaigns for your business or pay-per-call offers.

In this lesson you’ll learn to

  • I know the call ad options
  • Ads run only during call hours
  • I track qualified calls by duration

• Call assets on search ads — a call button alongside the ad.

• Call-focused landing pages with tracked numbers.

Schedule and devices

• Follow the offer’s rules on allowed traffic sources, brand bidding and geography.

• Match the buyer’s hours and states/regions.

• Use the tracking numbers provided by the network (such as BFOUNT) so calls are attributed corre
