How do you track phone calls (leads and sales)?
Tracking phone calls is incredibly important for accurate reporting. Any calls that come in from your campaign are recorded using a tool called Call Tracking Metrics.
Here’s how it works:
First, a lead calls from an ad extension or from your website.
When this happens, we can see some really useful data:
What page of your website the individual was on when they called
What keyword they used to land on your website
Which campaign generated that user
Then, a member of our team manually scores every call. After listening to the call recording, we manually import the quality conversations and the associated data into Google Ads.
Most agencies use a time threshold to determine lead quality (for example, any call over 45 seconds is automatically recorded as a conversion); however, we ensure lead quality manually, which makes for far superior data.
