CallSource Company Overview

CallSource is a California company that provides call tracking and staff coaching to businesses.

CallSource reviews are positive – 4.3/ 5 on G2 from 33 reviews and 4.4 on Capterra from 195. Users praise the platform’s support, alerts, and analyst-reviewed calls that are ready the next morning. Yet, complaints focus on slow platform performance, price, and reporting issues. 

CallSource Features

Call Tracking & Recording

CallTrack provides call tracking numbers – one per ad campaign – and records every call to them to generate reports, then shows which campaign generated each call. 

On your website, CallSource dynamic number insertion (DNI) shows each visitor a unique number, so the reports can match each call to the traffic source – passing through CallShield first – which blocks autodialed robocalls.

The platform keeps recordings of analyst-reviewed calls for 13 months and deletes all other recordings after 30 days, including those from an account that uses CallTrack without analyst services.

CallSource Reporting

Shows your cost per lead and sales conversion rates, and includes industry benchmarks for comparison. Only classified calls count as leads – thanks to the LeadScore functionality – so repeating customers don’t inflate your lead count.

You don’t need a CallSource app for reports; you can view them in a browser or schedule the ones you need for email delivery.

CallSource Attribution Tools

CallSource attribution tools are part of EveryLead – a dashboard that shows marketing call tracking results for traditional and digital campaigns. You can see whether radio or paid search produces more calls. 

Human Call Analysis

Analysts listen to your recorded calls and score them. Its analysts report an accuracy rate above 90%.

You also have Appointment Confirmation, where analysts review every inbound prospect call to record whether the caller booked an appointment – you can tie each booking to the campaign that produced it. 

Because analysts score recordings, these reports guide marketing and coaching decisions but can’t change how your team handles a live call.

Coaching & Managed Services

CallSource offers two kinds of coaching sessions for the staff who answer your calls – 20 and 45 minutes. Each 20-minute session aims to raise the call handler’s appointment conversion rate without keeping them off the phones for long. 

In the 45-minute team sessions, a CallSource coach and your staff critique recorded calls together and set team goals.

CallSource’s managed services assign their own staff to manage your online reviews and Google Local Services Ads charges. They respond to your reviews the same day on 17 platforms.

CallSource Integrations

CallSource integrations connect the company’s call scoring and reporting to phone systems, call tracking platforms, CRMs, and analytics tools.

CallSource API

The CallSource API gives third-party software access to your CallSource call data, showing clients their total call count and the number of connected, busy, abandoned, and unanswered calls. 

The API’s documentation isn’t publicly available either, so buyers can’t verify what other data the API provides.

Security & HIPAA Compliance

The platform hosts its network in a CenturyLink data center in Burbank. CallSource HIPAA compliance isn’t part of the standard contract. Businesses are required to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before CallSource can record or analyze patient calls.

CallSource Pricing Plans

There isn’t a CallSource price list – each account gets a custom quote from an account executive. The quote depends on how many tracking numbers you need and your monthly usage.
