Monitor your enquiries using unique telephone numbers

Category: Data and analytics
Different types of media inevitably generate varying levels of response. Even using ads with different creative in the same publications (but placed in varied positions or on alternative dates) will receive differing levels of response.

It simply makes sense to allocate unique telephone numbers to each communication piece to accurately evaluate the effectiveness of the creative, placement, media, and more.

Call tracking is cost-effective and easy to implement

Call tracking works by placing a unique phone number on any piece of marketing: from a newspaper advertisement or an email, to your pay per click (PPC) ads, direct mail, online adverts – even your website – allowing you to collect data that is not readily available in the majority of standard analytics tools. When a prospect calls, you receive valuable data on the source of the lead, the length of the call, the time of day, the caller’s geographic location and the campaign that they are responding to.

Powerful software provides you with a huge range of benefits, including:

  • Call recording: Closely monitor the success of your inbound and outbound campaigns and improve your sales efficiency.
  • Missed call alerts: Capturing missed calls helps you improve call handling and conversion rates.
  • CRM and analytics integration: Providing you with a 360 degree view of your advertising response, allowing you to make informed decisions about your marketing spend.
