There are a lot of people who are used to making purchases or orders using their phones. Believe it or not, phone calls are still one of the essential business components for many industries. For many business organizations, calls are the main type of leads and they are usually worth multiple times more than those that came to you by filling in a kind of form. Yet another trend for industries that rely on phone leads is that most of them use paid search ads to drive traffic to their websites, and these are the ones that lead to people making calls.
However, there is a big issue with calls that come from paid searches; they are usually untracked and this greatly reduces the effectiveness of a PPC campaign, especially in regards to conversions and leads. Without valuable call tracking data, professional marketers get stranded in the dark when talking about which ads, landing pages, and keywords are responsible for driving these calls.
This makes businesses unable to make the right decisions in their future PPC strategies. Without proper call tracking methods, advertises and businesses alike risk losing a big portion of phone conversions because they don't have important information that can help them understand where to focus their efforts and resources. They are unable to channel the extra budget funds into new keywords if they don't know which ones work the best.
Home services
If you are an expert in home decorating, plumbing, home cleaning, window or door installation, flooring or any other home repair service, then you should include call tracking. No matter what kind of home improvement services you provide, you should expect a lot of of calls each day.
Just imagine that a potential customer needs a new sink installed; he or she will probably search for things like "plumbing services" or "sink services" via a search engine, click on some ads and then call a service that is most convenient.
This is a typical conversion path when it comes to services like this, because the nature of such a service presumes coming to a client's house directly. This is why people feel that it's best to give you a call, talk specifics, as well as the type of trouble they are having.
Cosmetic and dental clinics
In most cases, people don't have their own dentist and they don't call one until there is an emergency. People don't even search for a nearby dentist until they start feeling the pain in their mouth or when they beak their tooth in an accident. When this happens, they start searching for local dental services or clinics and they start calling numbers.
Both dental and cosmetic clinics are busy places, especially the good ones, and one always has to make an appointment some time in advance. Alternatively, they can arrange something for the customer in case of an emergency. All of these appointments are made through phone calls, and people can also consult with a specialist without the need to see them in person. These are clear reasons why businesses like these need call tracking.
Real estate businesses
When a person is looking to buy a new home or rent an apartment, he or she is definitively not going to do a quick search on Google and press the "purchase now" button. Not a chance! Real estate is one of the most important aspects of one's life, and one of the greatest expenses. You probably already knew this; but conversions are definitively not going to happen as often online. They simply won't.
If a person that searched for a certain piece of real estate online is genuinely interested in renting or purchasing a certain place, they are definitively going to grab their phone and call the number they find online in order to talk to the real estate agent. In a business like this, generating call leads is the foundation for further growth, so make sure that you are ready for incoming calls.
