Call Tracking Number
A unique phone number used to track and analyze incoming calls generated by marketing campaigns.
Description
A Call Tracking Number is an essential tool in the digital marketing arsenal that allows businesses to measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns by tracking phone calls. Each marketing source, such as a website, online ad, or email campaign, is assigned a unique phone number. When a customer calls this number, the call is routed to the business's main phone line, and the call data is recorded. This data includes the caller’s phone number, call duration, and the marketing source that prompted the call. By analyzing this data, businesses can understand which campaigns are driving the most calls, enabling them to optimize their marketing strategies and allocate resources more effectively.
Examples
- A local bakery runs different ads on Facebook and Google. By assigning unique call tracking numbers to each platform, they discover that Facebook ads generate more calls, helping them decide to invest more in Facebook marketing.
- A real estate agency uses different call tracking numbers for their print ads, website, and email campaigns. They find that most inquiries come from their website, leading them to enhance their online presence.
