Google is rolling out a mobile ad format that will allow smartphone users to call an advertiser directly from their ad, rather than clicking through to their website.
The ad format, called call-only campaigns, features the advertiser’s name, along with a short description of their business and a call button.
Call-only campaigns will have the same cost-per-click (CPC) cost as a standard ad that links to a website, even though Google claims the call button typically increases click-through rates by 6-8%.
