Your Competitors Have the Call Button in the Map Pack

Google removed the call button from the organic map pack listings in search. However, Google did do something sneaky by keeping the ad in the map pack's call button there, which is where the leads are now going to. When users click on that PPC call button, the advertiser is charged since it is a cost-per-click basis. Not all phone calls will be high quality, but it becomes a numbers game, which was always the case with the map pack.

In this video, I'll share what these ads look like and how to see if your competitors / you are showing up in Google Maps via these ads. If you are not, I recommend creating a Performance Max campaign to get started.
