The Complete Guide to Google Ads Extensions

Ad extensions increase your Google Ads visibility, click-through rate, and Quality Score at no additional cost per click. They add information and functionality to your text ads, making them larger and more useful. Sitelink extensions add additional links below your ad pointing to specific pages on your site. Add 4-6 sitelinks with descriptive titles and two-line descriptions. Link to your most important pages — services, pricing, contact, testimonials. Callout extensions add short text phrases highlighting unique selling points. Free shipping, 24/7 support, no contracts, and 20 years experience are common callouts. You can add up to 10, and Google selects which to show. Structured snippet extensions display categories of products or services. Headers include types, brands, models, and styles. This helps searchers quickly understand your range of offerings. Call extensions add a phone number to your ad. On mobile, this becomes a click-to-call button. Use call reporting to track which campaigns generate phone inquiries. Schedule call extensions during business hours when someone can answer. Location extensions show your business address and link to Google Maps. Essential for businesses with physical locations. They help drive foot traffic and improve local search relevance. Price extensions display your pricing directly in the ad. This pre-qualifies clicks — people who see your prices and still click are more likely to convert because price expectations are set. Promotion extensions highlight specific offers with optional dates and promo codes. They add visual emphasis to your deals and can be scheduled for seasonal promotions.
