Use call tracking to understand where your calls are coming from
You can use telephone tracking numbers on any form of advertising from direct mail and brochures through to website call tracking where you can track calls of each individual visitor and the keyword they used to search for you.
By default, web analytics software can’t track customers that visit your site and then pick up the phone, so your reports may not be an accurate reflection of your performance. This could force you to base decisions on incomplete data.
With real-time call tracking from CallTracks, you are able to see exactly what drives your customers to pick up the phone alongside other conversion metrics such as form fills, events and e-commerce transactions. This allows you to make more informed decisions.

How does Call Tracking work?
Using unique call tracking phone numbers that CallTracks provide you will ‘forward’ calls to your existing landline or mobile. Whether creating a new number for an advertisement through the user-friendly interface or installing the call tracking code on your website for Visitor Level real-time call tracking, you can pick whatever type of number you want to use from 0800 freephone to local geographic.
With visitor level call tracking there is no manual process apart from the initial set-up. The Visitor Level real-time call tracking works by inserting a small snippet of JavaScript on your website, similar to other analytics code.
Once you have added the code to your website each destination phone number you want to be tracked becomes a “Dynamic Number” and the call tracking software will automatically change this number so each visitor sees a slightly different variation of it. As the software then knows which number was served to a specific visitor the associated web data, such as the keyword the visitor used, can be linked to a phone call. The quantity of tracking numbers you will require to sit in the background to allow your Dynamic Number to function correctly depends on your traffic volumes but CallTracks are able to cater for all sizes of business.
CallTracks also place a cookie on each visitor which allows you to track their interaction with your website before, during and after the phone call. Even though they may not call on the first visit to your website, if they come back later you get to see the whole journey and associated history where applicable.
