Yes, you can use location extensions alongside other ad extensions in Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising). Combining multiple ad extensions can enhance the visibility and effectiveness of your ads by providing additional information and options for users. Here's how you can effectively use location extensions in conjunction with other ad extensions:

### **1. **Types of Ad Extensions You Can Combine**

**a. **Location Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Displays your business address, phone number, and a map link to help users find your physical location.
   - **Use**: Ideal for businesses with physical locations, such as stores or offices.

**b. **Sitelink Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Allows you to add additional links to different pages of your website directly in your ad.
   - **Use**: Provides users with more options to navigate your site, such as specific product categories or promotions.

**c. **Call Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Adds a phone number to your ad, allowing users to call your business directly from the ad.
   - **Use**: Enhances direct customer contact and is particularly useful for businesses where phone calls are a primary conversion method.

**d. **Callout Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Adds extra text to your ad to highlight key features or benefits of your business, such as "Free Shipping" or "24/7 Support."
   - **Use**: Provides additional information that may entice users to click on your ad.

**e. **Structured Snippet Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Allows you to highlight specific aspects of your products or services using predefined headers like "Services," "Amenities," or "Brands."
   - **Use**: Gives users a quick overview of what your business offers.

**f. **Price Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Displays pricing information for your products or services directly in the ad.
   - **Use**: Helps users quickly see your pricing and compare it with competitors.

**g. **Promotion Extensions**
   - **Purpose**: Showcases special promotions or discounts in your ad.
   - **Use**: Attracts users with special offers and can drive conversions.

### **2. **Best Practices for Using Multiple Ad Extensions**

**a. **Optimize for Relevance**
   - **Match Extensions to Goals**: Use ad extensions that align with your advertising goals and business objectives. For example, if you want to drive foot traffic to a physical store, combine location extensions with call extensions.

**b. **Ensure Consistency**
   - **Unified Messaging**: Ensure that the information provided in your extensions is consistent and complementary. For example, if your location extension lists a specific address, make sure that callout extensions and sitelink extensions reinforce the same location or service information.

**c. **Manage Ad Extension Priorities**
   - **Extension Priority**: Bing Ads will automatically show the most relevant ad extensions based on the user's query and context. Ensure that all extensions are set up correctly and provide a comprehensive view of your business.

**d. **Monitor Performance**
   - **Track Metrics**: Regularly review the performance of each ad extension type. Analyze metrics such as click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and user engagement.
   - **Adjust as Needed**: Make adjustments based on performance data to optimize your ad extensions for better results.

**e. **Test Combinations**
   - **A/B Testing**: Conduct A/B tests to see which combinations of ad extensions work best for your audience. Test different sets of extensions to determine which ones drive the most engagement and conversions.

### **3. **Example Implementation**

**Scenario**: You run a retail store and want to drive both online and in-store traffic.

1. **Location Extension**:
   - **Display**: Show the store address and a link to Google Maps.
   - **Benefit**: Helps users find the physical location.

2. **Call Extension**:
   - **Display**: Add a phone number for users to call for more information or to make inquiries.
   - **Benefit**: Facilitates direct communication.

3. **Sitelink Extension**:
