The ad extension wasn’t exactly a hit with advertisers.

Although Google reviewed every single quote and verified it with a third party review source (to ensure no fake reviews made their way into the ad) – the entire process was a bit tedious.

Why are AdWords Review Extensions Being Removed?

According to Google, Review Extensions currently show only on desktop and more traffic is moving to mobile globally.

“Beginning the week of January 15th 2018, we will no longer support review extensions, and they won’t be shown with your ads. As a result, you may see a change in your ad click-through rate, or an increase in impressions for your other ad extensions,” Christina Berry, Agency Development Manager at Google Marketing Solutions said.

“Four weeks after review extensions stop showing, your review extensions will be deleted, along with their performance data.”
