What is a Google AdWords Ad Extension?
A Google AdWords ad extension is piece of additional content that expands your ads with additional information. There are many different types of extensions and they each offer different relevant information for potential customers to choose your business.
While most extensions require a little bit of setup, the additional work is worth it because in general you will see an improvement in the ads’ performance with respect to clicks, cost per click (CPC), page position, and ad rank.
Why You Should Use Ad Extensions
Ad extensions expand your existing ads by offering the reader more ways to interact with your company. They are appended to your ad and can offer additional pages on your site where the reader can find more or different information. They can highlight additional benefits to working with your company, e.g.: Free Shipping, 90 day return policy, Sale now in process. They can provide a phone number to call or a location site to visit. They can even point directly to a place to download your app.
In addition, using extensions can increase the click-through rate of your ads and even your conversion rate.
And using extensions will usually raise the ad rank of your ad which can result in a higher position on the page and a lower cost per click and higher likelihood of your ad being shown. As Google says “ad extensions typically improve click-through rate and overall campaign performance because they make ads more useful.”
