The New Year has hardly begun, first week back at our desks and Google is already announcing new AdWords features. This week it’s “click-to-call” that is taking the Mobile Internet by storm.

This new feature places a telephone icon next to your ads when they appear on a mobile phone. Clicking on the icon will automatically place a call to the advertiser where an order can be made or an inquiry answered.

The service is currently only available on phones that have full Internet browser functionality like the iPhone. Costs are the same as those incurred when someone clicks on your ad and visits your web site.

Click-to-Call is a very exciting addition to AdWords. Being so new, it’s too early to judge how successful it will be at improving conversions from AdWords campaigns.

We’ll be experimenting with the new tool over the next few weeks and will report back on our findings.
