Call Tracking: Use a Call Extension to Increase Your Conversion Rate

in Call Tracking  by Martin Marinov 0 comments

We live in a world where everything happens online. There is a popular misconception that people don’t call phone numbers anymore. However, research shows that including phone numbers with your digital advertising efforts can be extremely beneficial, even if your business does not heavily rely on phone calls. Here is an example of how a phone number can help your Adwords Campaigns.

Call Extensions

You have your PPC campaigns set up and clicks are flowing in. You know that people are visiting your website and looking at your products. You collect data and track performance. Conversion rates are a little low, but it’s better than nothing. But did you know that you can insert a phone number right into your PPC ad? It’s called call extension and it displays a clickable call button with your ad. Google reports that call extensions typically increase the click-through rate by 4-5%. The best part is that you can track calls as conversion and the phone call costs as much as the click, with the benefit that calls have a much higher conversion rate (sometimes up to 40-50%, depending on the industry). While not everyone will click the call button, why not give your customers the option.
