Boost your ads with ad extensions

If you’ve been searching on Google and seen an ad with a call button, extra links, an address, or other extra information, you’ve seen extensions. Extensions make your ad larger and more robust, giving people more reasons to take action directly from your ads.

As critical to success as the ads themselves

Extensions are free to add, and typically increase your click-through-rate and ad quality. They only show when they’re predicted to get you better results, like clicks to your website. So to get the most value from your Search campaigns, be sure to add at least 4 sitelinks and 3 unique images with image extensions to your account or campaigns.

Add at least 4 sitelinks and 3 unique images with image extensions

Here are the recommended extensions that can boost your ads:

Sitelink extensions: Direct people to specific pages on your website—your store hours, a specific product, or more. When someone clicks or taps on your links, they can skip right to what they want to know or buy. To make it more likely that your sitelinks show with your ads, add at least 4 sitelinks.

Image extensions: Drive the performance of your products and services with image extensions. Adding at least 3 unique and relevant images to your website can enhance the message of your existing text ads and it can also attract users to click on your ads. Learn more about image extensions

Add additional ad extensions to support your business goals

Beyond the 2 core extension types, be sure to add other extensions that make sense for your business. Select your extensions based on your primary advertising goal.
