Internet Marketing Survival by Praveen Kumar C

Click-to-call ads were a wonderful method of advertising in Google through adwords. We pay only when we get calls. Unless like PPC it has more potential as we get the calls from our customers directly. We pay only per successful call connected with customers.

Unfortunately I saw the click to call campaign which I was running did not produce any on few days. I contacted Google for this issue and they addressed that Click-to-call ads are no longer available in India. I see that it is still available in other countries, probably for US accounts. Also still the option is available in my account to create Click-to-call campaigns. Letz hope it will be available soon Below is the mail I received from Adwords team.

Hello Praveen,

Thank you for chatting in regarding your click to call ads. Click-to-call
ads are no longer available. So your click-to-call ads will not run now.
You may create other ad formats to advertise your products or services. I
apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We launched click-to-call ads as a short-term trial. The test has ended,
and we’re using the results to improve AdWords and build more solutions
for advertisers who value phone calls.

We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising
available.

Sincerely,

Sabina A
The Google AdWords Team
