Starting February 6, 2017, AdWords began creating call extensions automatically for mobile Search ads when it detected a prominent phone number on the landing page and no existing call extension. Advertisers could opt out from the automated extensions settings, which mattered for anyone relying on tracking numbers. Google's March click-to-call update confirmed the wider global rollout of the feature.
