I'm trying to figure out why Google's algo would show an ad that is designed to not receive a click.

Suppose this:
If an advertiser bids high in the hopes of getting a bump without having to pay for it, then conceivably, the reason the ad is being shown is because it's worth more per click. Which is why Google would be showing the ad.

Or are those ads receiving clicks despite the phone numbers?

What do you think?
