How Do I Track Phone Call Leads From My Ads?
You track phone call leads from ads with call tracking: tracking phone numbers that record which ad, search or listing a caller came from. Each call can then be matched to the lead in your CRM, so you can see which calls became booked jobs.
Why calls are a blind spot
For many service businesses, a lot of the best leads call instead of filling in a form. Without call tracking, those calls arrive with no source, and the ads that drove them get no credit. Calls that come in after hours and on weekends can be lost without anyone seeing them.
How call tracking works
- Website visitors see a tracking number tied to their visit, so the call carries the ad or search that brought them.
- Separate numbers go on places like your Google Business Profile, each labeled with its source.
- Each call is reviewed as a real lead or not, so wrong numbers and spam are left out.
- The call is matched to the customer in your CRM, so the booked job counts toward the right channel.
What to check in your current setup
- Does every ad that shows your phone number tie calls back to the source?
- Are only real leads counted, or every ring?
- Can you see booked jobs and revenue from calls, or only call counts?
