Click to call About 50% of all mobile searches attract a phone call. Most mobile internet users use a click to call button to contact a business directly from a search results page. Both Bing Ads and Google Adwords offer call extensions. To see how many calls your Bing Ads or Google Adwords are generating, you can opt to use their phone number/call tracking functions.

Bing Ads Bing Ads’ extensions offer local area code phone numbers, while Google Adwords does not have this function. Local area code phone numbers achieve higher rates of click to call than toll free numbers.

Google Adwords Via Google Adwords you have the ability to set up multiple call conversions based on call length.

However, you still have the option of lowering bids for desktop searches and increasing your bids for mobile searches by up to 300%. This means it decreases the chance your ad will show up on a desktop search and increases the likelihood your ad will show on a mobile search.
