Do call-only ads still exist?

Yes. Now called 'call ads.' They show only on phones, and the click IS the phone call, with no website visit in between. For call-first businesses (emergency trades, appointment booking), they remove every step between the search and the ring.

Yes. Now called 'call ads.' They show only on phones, and the click IS the phone call, with no website visit in between. For call-first businesses (emergency trades, appointment booking), they remove every step between the search and the ring.

Two disciplines make them work: run them only when someone answers (schedule them to staffed hours. Every missed call is a paid miss), and turn on call reporting so calls are counted like the conversions they are.

Compare them against regular ads with call assets: many businesses find standard search ads with a prominent call button match call-ad volume while ALSO capturing the form-fillers. Test both; keep the cheaper cost per conversation.

This is the work. Want it done?

Everything here is free to use yourself. That’s the point. If you’d rather a senior marketer just handle it, in your accounts and your name: 20-minute call, no pitch deck.
