Google Ads Now Includes Location Extensions Automatically

A few weeks back I received an email from Google Ads with the subject line “Location Extensions will be activated in Google Ads.” I get many emails from Google. But even with a quick scan I could tell this was different: Google was going to add something unless I opted out. If you have not connected your Google Ads account to a Google My Business location, Google will now link them if it detects a shared domain and country. Once linked, Google will show location extensions in your ads unless you instruct Google otherwise. Google Ads is a sophisticated platform with many features. Most advertisers are familiar with the basics of a search ad: headlines, description, and a URL. This is the standard format that we see on many Google search result pages.
