Google Ads Call Us With Text Or Email To Call

The new feature for Google Ads call extensions allows users to scan a QR code displayed on the screen to directly call from their phone. Additionally, Google is testing a functionality to send the phone number to users via text or email.

To use the QR code feature in Google Ads call extensions, you simply scan the QR code shown on the screen with your phone, which will then initiate a call to the advertised number.

Google may choose not to display the phone number directly in call extensions for various reasons, such as tracking the effectiveness of ads, user convenience, or to reduce spam calls. The exact reason is not specified in the text, but the author hints at understanding the rationale behind Google's decision with the phrase 'Yea, I know why...'.
