Callout Extensions (above) allow business to put customizable bullet points beneath their ads, allowing them to draw special attention to any specific products or services. It is possible to place four to six bullet points under each impression, and users can also choose to have the callouts placed on advertisement, or across a whole group.

In its official announcement, the Bing team said a group can have up to 20 callout extensions:

Each campaign or ad group can be associated with between 2 and 20 callout ad extensions. If you associate one or fewer callout extensions with your campaign or ad group, no callout text will serve with your ad. A text ad may include between 2 to 4 callouts per impression.
