If your business relies on inbound calls and cross-channel marketing campaigns, attribution might be one of your top priorities, and for several reasons. Not only does proper call tracking software with attribution ensure your partners are properly credited – which sparks motivation and boosts performance – but it also surfaces actionable business data, suggesting which strategies to leave out and which to double down on.
“As long as you’re tracking your calls in the same way that you track your web leads in terms of attributing value back to all of your media buying platforms, whether it be your social media platforms or Google or wherever you’re doing, let the algorithm do its thing and go away.
Allowing the algorithm to target customers is valuable for you. A lot of people will track every little last thing out of their web leads to make sure they’re optimizing their advertising spend, but they don’t do it for calls. So I think calls are getting treated maybe unfairly, not being tracked to the same level. You’re just not letting the platforms do their thing.” – David Pickard, CEO, Phonexa, during the Pioneering Pay-Per-Call Excellence webinar
To attribute calls efficiently, you need software that incorporates either static tracking numbers or dynamic number insertion (DNI), a technology that assigns a unique number to each web session, enabling you to extract the maximum data from every interaction.
Once such a number is dialed, a call tracking solution unifies caller attributes in real time, enabling smart, almost instantaneous routing and professional follow-ups that meet prospects where they are – something 71% of consumers expect.

The best marketing attribution software depends on how you plan to use it. Agencies reporting to clients on channel performance tend to pick WhatConverts or CallTrackingMetrics, while enterprise teams tying paid media spend to call revenue usually shortlist Invoca, Infinity, or Phonexa. Multi-location brands that need offline and online tracking in the same report often go with Marchex or CallSource. The latter uses human analysts to score calls, not AI. Smaller agencies and in-house teams looking for a lighter setup tend to choose Nimbata or CallRail, the most widely used tool in the category.
A proper call attribution should reveal the source data (channel, campaign, touchpoint, and keywords) and a complete customer journey overview, including how much time a user spent on a specific page, what they did, etc
Besides tying calls back to their sources, call tracking software usually includes AI call agents that handle conversations and qualify prospects. Conversational intelligence is another great feature, and you may also want to make sure all necessary integrations are included.
