Google recently updated a couple features within their click-2-call functionality, as well, they released a couple statistics on the click-2-call success rate.
Quick Adwords Pay per call Notes
- Call Forwarding: Companies/marketers that used the call forwarding functionality, saw an average call time of 6 minutes. Presumably, Google filters calls that are instantly dropped, thus you don’t get charged. This feature is still limited to only a couple countries.
- More Countries for Call-Forwarding: Previously limited to U.S., U.K., and Brazil. Google has added Germany, and plans to add more countries in the future. When I called the Adwords support team to see why other countries haven’t been added already, they simply stated licensing issues with phone number providers in the countries.
- Click-2-Call Button: A new button now shows, instead of a click-2-call phone number link. This potentially increases call-through-ratios (callers clicking, but not making the call), according to Google.
New Click-2-Call Button
- Call Extensions For In-App Ads: Now you can have your call-button within apps featured in the Google Display Network (GDN). Targeting is very limited (can’t target keywords), and call length-time has been below 30 seconds on average. This would be great for “Win Free Stuff” PPCall offers (rare). Also, you can’t enable call-forwarding on in-app ads.
Also, make sure if you have any major questions with Adwords PPCall, then give their support a ring. For the most part, they know their stuff (sometimes they don’t), or they will send you an updated email.
