What is “Call Tracking?”
An innovative analytics tool, “call tracking” is technology that enables businesses to track the origin of incoming phone calls, and generate reports that analyze and compile the information required to maximize sales and marketing efforts, and achieve a higher ROI, or “return on investment.”
How does call tracking help your business?
Depending on the company who supplies your call-tracking technology, each call-tracking tool may offer slightly different features and employ slightly different methodologies. However, the primary function of call tracking is to record and store valuable details on every incoming phone call.
Specifically, call tracking is able to determine the source of the call whether it be a website landing page, a keyword search, an e-mail or a print advertisement.
How do I access the information gathered by call tracking?
In most cases, you will be able to access the information gathered by your call-tracking provider conveniently online with a computer that has an Internet connection, using a login and password that provides access to your unique data.
After logging in to your account, you will be able to easily download and generate reports and statistics, and subsequently filter those reports and statistics in order to analyze the data in manageable parts. In analyzing the information your call tracker has gathered, you can draw a variety of invaluable conclusions regarding your sales and marketing efforts.
What kind of conclusions can I draw by using call tracking?
First, as previously mentioned, call tracking allows you to pinpoint which advertisements are generating the most sales leads and which advertisements are generating the highest number of conversions. This information can help you maximize your ROI by highlighting both successful advertising campaigns and those that did poorly enabling you to increase spending in the right places and, ultimately, to maximize your sales and profits.
