Use message extensions

30/11/2019

Let customers viewing your ads on mobile devices send your business a text message with just a tap. To win over people more likely to send a text message than to call, set up free message extensions for your text ads on the Search Network. You can reply to customers' text messages using your phone number or email address.

Before you begin

Message extensions require you to be able to receive, process, and send text messages. To learn about message extensions, go to About message extensions

Now take a moment to decide how broadly you want your message extensions to show. Should they show across all your campaigns? A few campaigns? An ad group? Once you’ve decided, you’re ready to follow the instructions below.

Keep in mind that message extensions are not guaranteed to show with your ad all the time. Learn more about when extensions show

Tip

 
When writing your call-to-action (CTA), be as specific as possible. For example, instead of a general CTA like “Text for more information,” use something like “Text us for a free quote” or “Text us to speak to an agent.” Ads with more specific, actionable CTAs often perform better than those with general CTAs.
 

Instructions

You can create a message extension at the account, campaign, or ad group level.

The new Google Ads experience is now the exclusive way for most users to manage their accounts. If you’re still using the previous AdWords experience, choose “previous” below. Learn more
