What Does Lead Form Extensions Do?

Lead Form Extensions catch up interest when potential customers look out for your company, products, or services on Google. Without any doubt- a fast, brisk and rapid mobile optimized experience makes form submission easy and brushes off the extra formalities of navigating to your mobile site lead form.

Searchers who are signed in to their Google account can tap a call-to-action button such as “Get quote” or “Apply now” directly from your lead form extension present in your search ad. With this, users can submit a form without any hassle, which is pre-populated with the contact information from their Google account.

As quoted- “Lead form extensions capture interest when potential customers are searching for your company, products, or services on Google. A fast, mobile-optimized experience makes form submission easy and eliminates the extra step of navigating to your mobile site lead form.”

Google notes, in testing, one advertiser reported a 20% higher closing rate for sales leads after implementing lead form extensions.
