Get WhatsApp Leads Straight from Your Google Ads

Adding WhatsApp to Google Ads

Here’s the fix!

You can now add WhatsApp straight into your Google Ads. When someone sees your ad on Google, instead of clicking “Call” or “Visit Site”, they can just hit Message on WhatsApp and start chatting with you immediately.

It takes five minutes to set up:

1. In Google Ads, go to Assets → Message → WhatsApp
2. Select the blue circle plus icon
3. Add your WhatsApp number (make sure to select your country)
4. Add a starter message — we use “Hi, I saw your ad on Google”
5. Select a call to action and create a description
6. Hit Save – nearly done!
7. Finally, double-check that Google has approved your extension (come back tomorrow and check)

Here’s what it looks like 👇

And here’s the setup screen 👇

Once it’s live, you’ll start getting messages directly in WhatsApp from people who saw your ad — no lost leads, no delays. It’s perfect for local services, trades, or anyone who sells through conversation.

This option isn’t available to everyone yet, but we’ve seen it available in most of our clients’ accounts now. You can check with Google for updates and more information.

Bonus tip:

You can also connect WhatsApp to your Google Business Profile so people can message you straight from search results.
