Click-to-Call Phone Numbers in Mobile Ads for National Advertisers
Recently we announced a new feature that allows advertisers to add a clickable phone number to their mobile ads, making it easy for customers to connect with the local business they’re looking for directly by phone. This week, we’re expanding click-to-call phone numbers for national advertisers. Now advertisers can add a national phone number to the last line of ad text for any existing or new campaigns, making it easy for customers to connect with the business by phone directly from the ad, regardless of their location.
This can be especially helpful when you’re trying to connect with the business call center rather than a specific business location. After searching for a travel services, for example, you might want to call to discuss trip planning with an agent. Or after searching for car insurance, you might want to call for a quote. Now, if you’re using an iPhone, Android device, or Palm Pre, you can just click the phone number to call the business without needing to navigate to a new page.
If you’re an advertiser and would like to learn more about how to add a clickable phone number to your mobile ads, check out this post on the Inside AdWords blog for more details.

New Click to Call Phone Numbers in Mobile Ads
Sometimes when you’re searching for a local business on your mobile device, you’re not looking for their website, but rather to connect by phone. After searching for a restaurant, you might want to call and make a reservation. Or, after searching for a video store, you might want to find out if they have the video you want. Calling the business is now easier thanks to a feature that allows advertisers to add a clickable local phone number to their mobile ads. If you’re using an iPhone, Android, or other smartphone, you just click the number to call the business.
What’s more, the ads and phone numbers you see are based on your location. So, if a store or restaurant has multiple locations, you’ll be calling the nearest one, and not making reservations in some other city. You can use My Location to make sure you get search results that are tailored to your location.
Of course, if you’re going to be in another city next week and you want to call ahead to make your reservation, include the city in your search query to get the most relevant results.
If you’re an advertiser and would like to learn more about how to add a clickable phone number to your ads that appear on mobile devices, check out this post on the Inside AdWords blog for more details.

Nearby Intersections on GOOG-411
It is amazing how much information can be displayed on even the smallest map, yet we sometimes forget that geographic content is not always available visually.
If you’re out and about, you can call GOOG-411 and get local information about businesses. Now we’ve made it even easier to orient yourself without a map in front of you: call GOOG-411, ask for ‘details’, and in addition to the address and phone number of the business, we’ll also point you to the nearest street intersection or adjacent streets.
You can try it now: call 1-800-466-4411, look up ‘Google in New York’, ask us for more ‘details’, and we’ll tell you that our Chelsea office is ‘near the intersection with West 16th Street’. Unless you’re a seasoned New Yorker, this might very well save you from walking up or down a few blocks.
The nearby intersections are available for most businesses in the US and Canada. They are derived automatically by an algorithm written on 20% time by Googlers in New York and London. Tell us other ways you would want to use this new feature — we hope to expand it to other products soon!
