Lead Form Extension
A Google Ads asset/ad extension that opens a pre-filled lead form directly inside the ad — no redirect to a landing page.
Lead form extension — in more detail
Lead form extensions (officially Lead Form Assets) let users fill out a lead form straight from the Google Ads ad instead of clicking through to an external landing page. Google pre-fills fields like name, email, phone, and address from the signed-in Google account — the user just confirms. The form is available on Search, YouTube, Display, and Discover inventory (depending on campaign type). Leads can be exported from the account or pushed automatically via webhook/CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier). Conversion tracking runs as a dedicated conversion action.
Example / In practice
A B2B software vendor runs Search ads on “CRM comparison” with an attached lead form for name, company, email, employee count. A webhook forwards the lead to HubSpot in real time, with sales routing based on company size. Cost per lead is around 30% below the classic landing-page path, though lead quality is slightly lower — a deliberate tradeoff.
Distinction from similar terms
Sitelinks and callouts drive clicks to the website; the lead form bypasses the website entirely. Compared to Meta Lead Ads the concept is identical, just on Google inventory; call extensions are the counterpart for phone leads. The CPL advantage strongly depends on downstream lead-qualification workflows.
