What are lead form extensions?

Lead form extensions are a variety of Google Ads extensions that allow you to immediately capture customer user information when they search for your business or products. They generate leads by letting your customers submit their information, directly into a form from your ad. Lead form extensions were created to replace the need for directing potential customers to a post-click page to eventually convert.

There are a number of benefits when it comes to lead form extensions within your Google Ads campaign:

They can boost leads into your marketing space to help get more conversions.
They can find and engage potential customers and make them interested in your products and business.
They are super easy to set up and an easier user experience too.

How lead form extensions work:

Lead form extensions work by adding them to your Google Ads campaign. You can create lead form extensions to search, discovery, display and video campaigns, which allow for a great variety of results (lead form extensions within video campaigns are currently in a beta stage).
Customers within your target market will visit a Google property (YouTube for example), and interact with the ad that contains the lead form extensions. When your audience opens the lead form, they can pick to submit their contact information, email address, phone number etc.
You can then download and manage your leads from within Google Ads.
