Adwords Call-Only Ads are great, up to a point. When executed correctly, Call-Only Ad campaigns have proven to be an invaluable strategy for driving calls to businesses. This is no surprise, considering that calls to businesses from smartphones are predicted to reach 162 Billion by 2019.

What's Not So Great About Call-Only Ads

You can't retarget your callers by using traditional methods. People who 'tap' to call your business never visit your website. This makes it impossible to build a cookie-based retargeting audience since the caller did not visit your website.

With retargeting being a significant driver for boosting conversions, I think it is of utmost importance that all marketers retarget their inbound callers. It only makes sense right?

Good, now that we are on the same page, let's think outside the box a bit.

Many of Your Callers Use Facebook, Let's Find Them and Retarget Them

With social media usage on the rise, It's safe to assume that many of your callers use popular forms of social media, such as Facebook and Instagram.

Armed with this knowledge, we can use Facebook Custom Audiences to find your callers and retarget them. I have found that for every 100 phone numbers I upload to my Custom Audiences, Facebook can locate on average, 60 of my callers. A 60% match rate is not so bad, wouldn't you agree?

Now that you see where I am going with this, let me quickly break down the steps so you can begin retargeting your Call-Only leads.
