Track Leads, Optimize Ads: Call Tracking Metrics

Want to know if your leads are coming from your website or your ad campaign? With CallTracking Metrics, you can know exactly where people are contacting you from. This is a great feature for anyone looking to get more data on how their money is being spent.

What Is Call Tracking?

Call tracking is a way of tieing any lead –phone, text, chat, or form–back to its ad source. Whether they click on the call now option in an ad or directly from your website, CallTrackingMetrics allows you to know which source is generating the most leads.

Why Does it Matter?

Call tracking lets you stop wasting dollars and time on marketing efforts that drive bad leads or do nothing at all. If you know which marketing channels are working for you, you can stop wasting time and money on the ones that don't. If you’re not tying leads to their source and to their revenue, you’re attempting to make marketing decisions without the whole picture.

Why Use CALL TRACKING

With CallTrackingMetrics, you’ll be able to track your phone calls and leads back to each specific marketing campaign. When you integrate call tracking, all this data will be at your fingertips, so you have the answers and know what works best for your business.

  • Track Calls From Your Website
  • Track Your Google Ads Campaign
  • Track Calls Received From Print Campaigns

Without this insight, you could be wasting your budget on ads, channels, and campaigns not creating leads. Call tracking clues you into the entire picture. With this data, you can fine-tune messages and campaigns to reach and convert more customers.

Sales & Marketing Align

Knowing where your leads are coming from is essential to both marketing and sales success. Call tracking and marketing attribution data allow you to easily:

  • Prove ROI
  • Drive Revenue
  • Maximize Marketing Spend
  • Optimize Budgets
  • Optimize Messaging

How Does It Work?

Call tracking gives you information about which ads or messages are making people contact you by using a little bit of programming code called DNI. Imagine that your website shows different phone numbers to different people based on where they are viewing the number. That's what DNI does. Someone looking at a Google ad sees one number. Someone else looking at a LinkedIn ad sees a different number. This lets you know which ads are generating the leads you want.

Gathering Data Made Easy

You don't have to fumble through trying to trace where the bulk of your business is coming from anymore.

  • Track Specific Numbers
  • Track Calls & Emails Related To Specific Campaigns
  • Review Calls
  • Block Unwanted (Spam) Callers
  • Forward To The Number You Want
