Short summary of the matelso Call Tracking webinar about Google Analytics 4
Definition: What is Call Tracking
Call Tracking basics: Call Tracking uses unique phone numbers for tracking purposes. When a customer clicks on an ad and is redirected to a website with a call tracking phone number, the data from the call is recorded and analyzed – for example, in GA4. Marketers can use this data to optimize their online marketing strategies and campaigns. This leads to significantly higher marketing efficiency.
Here are some interesting facts about Call Tracking:
- Customers who use the call communication channel to contact a business convert 10-15 times more often and faster than other customers.
- In addition, 40% of customers call to ask for specific details before making a purchase, especially for higher value products.
- Call Tracking can increase customer loyalty because customers who call tend to be more engaged with a company.
Overall, Call Tracking helps companies optimize their marketing spend. The technology allows marketers to better understand which marketing investments are most effective and generate the most calls. This allows them to allocate their resources and budgets more efficiently. In addition, managers can integrate call tracking data with other data sources, such as CRM systems and sales data, to get a complete view of the customer journey. The result: much better data-driven marketing decisions. If this data is then transferred into Google Analytics 4 in the right way, success is guaranteed.
