          Hi Everyone,

          Is there a tool that can change the phone number on a web page based on the visitor source (i.e., direct, organic, paid, etc.)? I'd like to implement a solution like this with different call tracking numbers based on the visitor source.  We use the Google suite for our analytics (GA, GTM, Google Data Studio, Google Optimize is also an option as well).

          - Also, is there a good call tracking service that will ping a URL each time the phone number is called so that we can track these calls as events in GA? The majority of our visitors use a desktop PC and dial in the number on the screen rather than clicking (tapping) on it from a mobile device.

          Thanks,

          Andy

            Hi AndyRCWRCM !

            For dynamic phone number insertion based on visitor source, you can leverage Google Tag Manager (GTM) and its built-in functionalities. GTM allows you to create triggers based on different conditions, such as source/medium, and then dynamically change elements on your website, like the phone number.

            Here's a basic outline of how you can achieve this:

            Create Variables in GTM:
            Set up variables to capture information like source/medium.

            Set Triggers:
            Create triggers based on the visitor source. For example, if the source is "organic," trigger the change.

            Implement Tags:
            Use tags to change the phone number dynamically. This could involve JavaScript to modify the HTML on the page.

            Regarding call tracking services, you might consider platforms like CallRail, CallTrackingMetrics, or DialogTech. These services usually provide dynamic number insertion based on various parameters and offer integration options.

            To track calls as events in Google Analytics (GA), most call tracking services allow you to set up event tracking. The service typically generates a code snippet that you add to your website, and it pings a URL or sends data to GA when a call occurs.

            For desktop users who manually dial the number, you might need a solution that can detect when a call is initiated. This could involve additional tools or software on the backend to detect when the phone is in use.

            Ensure compliance with privacy regulations and clearly communicate any call tracking to your users to maintain transparency.

              I'd be interested to hear which solution you choose to go for in the end and why.

                Hi Alex,

                • Thanks I've since learned that all of CallRail, Wildjar, Phonewagon, and others like these three can track calls and send the data back to Google Analytics for instance as events.

                Thanks!

                Andy

                  Unfortunately, outside of Google Ads, Google doesn't offer a solution that you can use across your marketing efforts. (Which is a shame, as they clearly have the infrastructure set up to support the functionality in Ads. I, for one, would be happy to pay to extend this across to Analytics for more general tracking)

                  There are a number of 3rd parties who offer services that will integrate with Google Analytics, Ads, etc. and, potentially, your CRM if you have one. There is a good article here that might be a good starting point: https://www.optimizesmart.com/phone-call-tracking-google-analytics-beyond/

                    traffic

                    My 15 or so clients have all seen a drop in organic traffic by about 20% on GA4 for April. Rankings have not dropped or anything like that - so just wondering if anyone else has had similar?

                    So something weird is going on, i run a few websites for clients, few different CMS. there has been a constant increase in traffic and ranking on one wordpress website and now the squarespace website is climbing up in rankings in the past few months. both has GTM installed for months, which has been optimized regularly.
                    for the wordpress website, in the past 2 weeks, starting June 4th, on google search console the clicks and impressions has started going down to the point that i lost 90% of clicks and impressions and traffic on analytics has started dropping a few days later, now at about 60% less traffic. for the Squarespace website, exactly the same thing, started June 7th and drop in clicks/impressions (though ranking increase) and then traffic drop. checked both GTM for recent changes incase of wrong code implement, no changes, no new major issues.
                    different hostings different CMS, no link between them.   i just cant put my finger what is going on. anyone got any idea what is going on?

                    Dark Traffic Mystery!

                    Hey everyone, My team and I have been digging into this problem and can't find an answer - and it turns out this has been an issue for over year. I'll try to explain the best I can, but let me know if you have any questions. My predecessor noticed a non-existent page URL getting traffic in GA. He had the web dev team create a page so he could see where the traffic is coming from. The page has every directive under the sun on it; noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noodp, noydir, noimageindex, notranslate All of the traffic is (direct) / (none). It gets about 300 visits per day. Avg. time on page is 15:40, bounce rate is 99.6% and it doesn't show up in the funnel. Previous page path is 92% entrance; 8% homepage. Geo is 92% US; then diversified across countries. Browser is predominately Chrome. OS is only Windows, and device is only desktop. I've run this page through a backlink checker, and we get nothing. I've run it through Screaming Frog and it has no internal links pointing to it. I've tried putting quotes around the URL and googling it and we get a few websites, but they're very low authority and it isn't likely that they're sending 300+ visits per day. Also, since all of the traffic is direct, I don't think it's coming from a backlink anyway. This has become a personal quest for several of us, as we really want to figure out where that traffic is coming from. Any thoughts? What am I missing? It's kind of driving me crazy because I can't figure out what I've missed, so if anyone figures this out and is coming to Pubcon in November, I'll buy you a beer!! 🙂

                    How to turn on persistent urls in WordPress?

                    I'm using an appointment form on my website and I have the option to add a referral url to form submissions so that i know which pages the form submission came from. I need to be able to distinguish between organically generated form submissions and those that come in via AdWords. If referral url shows the AdWords tracking code i know the form submission came in from AdWords. My problem is that when a visitor comes in after clicking an ad and then visits another page on my website that AdWords tracking code disappears from the url. I was told that there was a way to turn on persistent urls in WordPress but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm assuming that if i turn persistent urls on the AdWords tracking code will remain on every subsequent url that they visit on my website. Is this true? Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

                    Will having a subdomain cause referral traffic from the domain name?

                    Hi! One of our clients has a site with the store on a subdomain: store.example.com.  When we've set up goals for order confirmation pages, we often see most of the sources attributed to example.com.  Is this because of the subdomain issue? How would we correct it so that we would see as the referring source for the goal the site that sent to the root domain originally, and not the site that sent to the subdomain? Thanks!
