Adwords is improving for the better. Considering the number of people using smartphones, there was a need of inclusion of direct CTA elements in the search results itself. Around 70% of mobile searchers call a business directly from search results so how about creating call-only campaigns, a new and easy way for businesses to reach potential customers by prominently showing your phone number, business description and call button — right when people are searching.




Instead of 2 step CTA – Have a 1 Step CTA

Enable people to reach your business directly via calls without needing to visit your site. Tailor your ads for phone calls with effective CTA text like “speak to a specialist today” or “call to make an appointment” to let people know they can easily reach your business.
