For businesses who handle a high volume of inbound calls, call tracking is an integral part of their MarTech stack. Whether you have a business that is fielding calls directly from customers, or you work in lead generation and you’re looking to connect call leads to the company that can best help them, it is incredibly valuable to know what’s driving your calls.

However, there are still plenty of businesses that have not yet implemented a call tracking solution or aren’t happy with their current call tracking software provider.

So what does it take to start using Phonexa for call tracking? Below are four steps that every business can take to get started.

Step 1: Determine Your Audience

Whatever product or service you are going to be marketing, it’s wise to begin by identifying what your target audience will be. Figuring out key demographic information about your ideal lead profile is a smart starting point: knowing details like age, income, and geographic location will all be necessary as you formulate a campaign strategy.

Once you begin using call tracking from Phonexa, you can get real data related to your target audience and see precisely with whom your marketing messages are resonating. As a marketer, you should always be refining who you’re targeting. The less resources you spend marketing to groups that aren’t as interested in your product, the more you will see your revenue grow.

Step 2: Develop Your Campaign

Once you know who you are trying to target in your campaign, you can construct your marketing strategy. Select your marketing channels based off where you are most likely to connect with your target audience.

If you are looking to drive calls, your marketing plan should almost certainly include reaching prospects on their mobile phones. Whether it is via mobile search or social media, connecting with your prospects on their phones can help drive calls thanks to the simplicity of “click-to-call” ads. Preparing some ads so that your leads can quickly go from seeing your ad to calling your number is the smartest and easiest way to guarantee good quality call leads.

Step 3: Get Your Tracking Number

After you’ve settled on your marketing channels, you can work with Phonexa to get your call tracking number or numbers. How many tracking numbers you’ll want to get depends on how many marketing efforts you want to collect tracking information on.

But if your campaign is utilizing multiple channels and is spread out across search, social, and other non-digital channels, then you will almost certainly want to select multiple tracking numbers to help you identify which channels are producing the most calls.
