Location extensions can help people find your locations by showing your ads with your address, a map to your location, or the distance to your business. People can then click or tap your extension to get further details about your location on your location page, which includes the most relevant business information all in one place. Location extensions may also include a phone number or call button so that users can easily call your business.

This article provides an overview of location extensions. For instructions on how to set up location extensions in your Google Ads account, go to Use location extensions. You can remove location extensions at any time. To learn how, go to Remove location extensions.

When to use

Location extensions encourage people to visit your business. Here’s a Search Network example. Clara, a bakery owner, wants to draw foot traffic to her storefront. She adds a location extension to her campaign. Now, when people nearby search on mobile for one of her keywords (“best bakery nearby” or “fresh bread”), her extension is eligible to show and may give bread-lovers:

• the distance to her location, and its city (mobile)
• her location's street address (computer)
• a clickable "Call" button
• a tappable or clickable access to a details page for her location—with information such as hours, phone number, photos, customer ratings, and directions.

Location extensions can also run on Display Network campaigns. Location extensions on Display help you close the loop between online ads and offline sales by driving foot traffic to stores. Here’s a Display Network example. A major clothes retailer wants to target the audience segment “Fashionistas”—encouraging people browsing online to come into the store and make purchases. To accomplish this goal, the store’s account manager sets up location extensions on Display ads. When people see her ads, they can check out the business photos, open hours, and store location on the map then click on “Directions” to navigate to the store.

• Google Search Network: On the Search Network, ads with location extensions can appear as a standard text ad with your location and phone number. On mobile, a clickable “Call” button may show in place of your phone number.
