Exploding Growth of Mobile Search Makes Call Tracking Essential for the Automotive Industry

Visitors to mobile auto sites grew 463% over the course of one year. The demand for mobile phone conversion solutions is critical. With the rise of mobile internet becoming the leading platform of web browsing, dealers must address this channel now or risk losing revenue.

Mobile Call Tracking Drives Conversion for Dealers

With one in seven searches happening via mobile, automotive retailers can’t afford to ignore the growing demand for mobile conversion solutions. A comScore study reported 21% of users access auto content almost every day and 48% access the content one to three times a month. Combining call tracking features with mobile conversion optimization enables marketers to engage mobile visitors, drive mobile sales conversions and help create competitive advantage. Consider the example scenario below:

Jane is looking to purchase a new car. She opens Google on her mobile browser and searches for “Used Ford Escape Dallas, Texas” This search takes her to a number of results, showing many options of used Ford vehicles being offered at various dealers in the Dallas region. She clicks on a prominent search result for John Ford Auto.

We know she is in the Options stage of the Buying Process, and we only have 9 seconds to get her attention. Using Mongoose’s Mobile Call Track technology, John Ford Auto pushes a special mobile alert to Jane 5 seconds into her visit that says, “We have your SUV, touch to call us now.” Jane clicks the mobile alert and her mobile phone populates with the number for John Ford Auto. The dealership gets the sale and Jane drives away in her Ford Escape. John Ford Auto knows that they won the sale thanks to Mongoose technology – because the conversion and phone call are recorded for easy tracking.

The Mongoose Metrics’ Mobile Call Track solution for automotive offers several powerful  features for customers that are serious about making mobile a part of their automotive marketing strategy:

  • Right Time, Right Place action triggers, which rescue visitors before they abandon your mobile website.

Google Analytics/Google Audio Ads and Phone Call Tracking

Summary: This post explains how Google Analytics users can leverage the Google Audio Ads integration to not support both online ROI and offline phone call ROI via Mongoose Metrics phone call tracking technology.

Google Analytic announced integration with Google Audio Ads this week. The integration allows Google Analytics users who run Google Audio Ads campaigns to see a special overlay report that shows both the radio ad broadcast schedule and website visitors. The report allows the Google Analytics user to clearly see the correlation between spot broadcasts and site visits and conversions. As rich as the overlay report is, a simple solution exists that allows Google Audio Ads advertisers to track phone calls driven from their radio spot campaigns.

Using Mongoose Metrics With Google Audio Ads

As a brief walk through, a Mongoose Metrics trackable phone number can be used in radio spots as the call to action phone number and also in the web campaign’s landing page.  When the number is dialed, the phone call event will be logged back to Google Analytics within the campaign section.

In this way, Google Audio Ads advertisers can create radio campaigns that can target both web based conversions and offline phone call conversions.
