Call Tracking Helps You Understand Where Your Valuable Calls Are Coming From
You’ve probably heard that Google plans to ban third-party cookies in 2025. It’s been a long time coming, with a deadline that keeps being pushed back; we’ve been writing about it for nearly three years.
Finally, it means that employing other tools to follow a customer’s purchasing journey across numerous channels will become more critical than ever. You will no longer have access to the useful information that third-party cookies now collect.
Call monitoring not only overcomes this problem, but it also provides more insights than third-party cookies ever did. You can use static and dynamic call tracking to track every step a lead takes before, during, and after connecting with you. You’ll also be able to correctly trace sales to individual channels and campaigns.
With these insights, you can alter your budget spending in real time to enhance conversions and minimize the cost per acquisition.
