Google has recently introduced a new ad extension designed to capture customer information with ease. Follow these simple steps below to create a lead form extension in your Google Ads account.
Step 1 – Create your extension
Choose your call to action from the list below and make sure to include relevant ad extension text.
Step 2 – Create your lead form
To create your lead form you will need to the following information:
- Headline (30 characters) – A short and snappy bit of text that could be used to promote a unique business selling point.
- Business name – Pretty simple this one!
- Description (200 characters) – Now is your chance to go slightly more in-depth with what you offer and why the potential customer should get in touch.
- What information do you want to ask for – You have a choice to ask for the users: name, email, phone number and postcode. You don’t have to choose all four options here, just the information that you need.
- Privacy policy – Make sure you have an updated privacy policy in place before setting up your lead form extensions and working link.
- Background image – A logo works well here.
Once you have all this information in, you will have created something like this.
Step 3 – Create a form submission message
This is a great chance to add a personal touch and let the user know when to expect a response.
Bonus Step – Manage your leads with a webhook (optional)
Google gives you the option to manage all your leads through the use of a webhook. All you need to do is provide a Webhook URL and key. Make sure you ‘send test data’ to ensure everything is set up correctly!
