Last URL Feature – Tracking Page Views Back To Phone Calls

 Mongoose Metrics’ AccuTrack Session product allows customers to view what web site the caller visited before he or she called into the client.  AccuTrack Session’s Last URL product feature is the key to this service. Marketers can literally see what lead customers to their site with this service. By tracking the last URL, marketers can gain understandings around their website conversion points or failures.

The Last URL  feature is accomplished through our AccuTrack Session keyword level phone call tracking product.  During AccuTrack Session setup, customers place a javascript code snippet on their campaign web pages. This allows Mongoose Metrics to chronicle each site visitor’s page visit.  We can then correlate the site visit to a phone call.  The correlated data will include the last URL the site visitor viewed just prior to placing the call.

We’re excited about the Last URL feature because we understand how online marketers positively develop with key insights and actionable metrics.

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 Analytics 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.
