By enabling call recording, you can play calls made to your call ads, as well as your call and location assets.
Call recording requirements
To enable call recording, you need to have the following:
- At least Administrative access to the Google Ads account. Once enabled, MCC and direct users with Admin or direct users with Standard access will be able to replay the recordings via the Call Details Report.
- Call reporting enabled. Learn more about call reporting.
- A US-based number.
- Verified domain ownership for all unique domains used in ads and assets that you wish to record.
You can verify your domain by linking your Google Search Console and Google Ads accounts or by adding your unique Google Ads conversion tracking tag or remarketing tag to your website. Call ads and assets whose domain have not been verified in this way will not be available for play, even if the setting has been enabled.
Note: Calls made via the Website Call Conversion tag are not eligible for recording and play at this time.
