Benefits of Using CallRail
Utilizing CallRail for call tracking is beneficial to your company in several ways. Depending on your specific ad campaign, the benefits are different but just as important for expanding your marketing efforts.
Organic Search: Call tracking is not just for PPC, it’s also for forms of SEO. This allows you to determine which of your landing pages are doing the best work generating leads and calls. CallRail helps you identify this so that you can make adjustments if need be.
PPC Advertising: A big part of PPC advertising is the use of keywords targeting potential clients and leads. Those who are optimizing keywords can get more information about how the keywords are performing on their pages when they use phone call conversions through call tracking.
Internal Quality Control
The software also offers a call monitoring tool which is the process of listening to live or previously recorded calls to audit the performance of call representatives, improve sales or marketing efforts, score the calls for leads, and develop sales or support strategies.
Screening calls can help business owners get a better understanding of why customers are calling to identify bottlenecks in the customer experience. When they hear that “call monitoring” is in effect and used for quality assurance, a lot is happening behind the scenes meant to benefit their future call experience as well as monitor a variety of ways to better serve them.
Detailed Lead Analysis
CallRail can track calls to the keyword level allowing you to know what keywords generate qualified leads versus unqualified ones. The software can help you make a campaign and keyword-level optimizations based on the information it gathers. For example, you may choose to pause keywords that you find are bringing in low-quality calls or choose to spend more on keywords that are bringing in more qualified leads. The tool provides a better understanding of what is working and what is not in your marketing or customer service strategy.
Tagging and Labeling Leads for Quality
By using the CallRail tagging feature you can accurately label and trace qualified or unqualified calls. So, in combination with tracking to the keyword level, we can determine which keywords are bringing in the qualified calls and avoiding those that do the opposite.
Better improve campaign performance by bidding more frequently on successful keywords or limiting traffic to keywords more apt to bring in unqualified calls. This is a distinction that happens outside of Google because they are only tracking what keywords are bringing in leads. If we can determine which keywords bring in quality leads, we can optimize that data point.
Google Performance Enhancement
Finally, if we notice trends where qualified calls are appearing over a specific time — duration like 2 or 3 minutes — we can set a trigger so that only calls of that certain duration are sent to Google as leads.
So, instead of Google counting all calls as leads it will only count the calls where the client or customer was on the phone for a specific time. Using this tool will result in Google strategically tracking only those calls. At first, it might look like a higher cost-per-lead but the learnings for Google are immeasurable as it can only enhance performance over time.
