As a small business owner, you already know that you have to make the best of a limited marketing budget. You simply don’t have the time or money to waste on campaigns that produce disappointing results. You need reliable tools and campaigns to show what’s working and what you need to scrap.

It also allows you to listen and truly hear what your customers say so you can help them obtain the greatest value for their money.

The confusion arises due to the different types of call tracking, which include the following: Campaign-level With this basic type, marketers buy telephone numbers and assign a static number to each campaign. It’s limited because you don’t have a lot of phone numbers and you don’t receive keyword details if the call resulted from a PPC campaign. Additionally, static number providers typically only track cookies for 30 days. When your company receives a call, campaign-level call tracking gives credit to the specific number dialed.
