          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/

                    What is Local SEO in Google Analytics (Organic Source)

                    Recently, I saw "Local SEO" is mentioned as the organic source. Can someone please tell what is this and from where Google is fetching data for this source?

                    Should Google Trends Match Organic Traffic to My Site?

                    When looking at Google Trends and my Organic Traffic (using GA) as percentages of their total yearly values I have a correlation of .47. This correlation doesn't seem right when you consider that Google Trends (which is showing relative search traffic data) should match up pretty strongly to your Organic Traffic. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Why isn't Google Trends correlating with Organic Traffic? Shouldn't they be pulling from the same data set? Thanks, Jacob

                    Tracking time spent on a section of a website in Google Analytics

                    Hi, I've been asked by a client to track time spent or number of pages visited on a specific section of their website using Google Analytics but can't see how to do this. For example, they have a "golf" section within their site and want to measure how many people either visit 5 page or more within the golf section or spend at least 6 minutes browsing the various golf section pages. Can anyone advise how if this can be done, and if so, how I go about it. Thanks

                    Google Analytics - Next Page Path is the Same URL?

                    Hey Everyone, I have a Google analytics question. I'm looking through a client's site and when I look at the next page path, I get the same URL as the next path. For example, on the homepage, the next page path I get is the homepage again? This happens for all URL's, is this an implementation error? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

                    Organic Traffic From...Mountain View, CA?

                    I've noticed something a little odd in my organic search traffic lately.  Looking at several websites that target the Minneapolis area, I'm seeing some organic searches come in (typically using head keywords - no geo-modifier) from Mountain View, CA.  There's no way we are truly ranking well on these terms in California, so it certainly feels like Google sniffing around.  I was worried that perhaps they were checking into penalizing us or something, but we've actually seen upticks in search traffic lately.  This traffic is not showing up in Google Analytics, just Adobe SiteCatalyst.  In the past, spikes from random locations were probably some sort of crawler, like the preview bot, but these are coming in as searches with (for now) keyword data. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

                    Finding an Explanation for a Massive Spike in Organic Search Traffic

                    Hi, I watch analytics on a website (for a friend's business) that is reasonably stagnant, which just experienced a massive spike in search traffic for no explainable reason. The organic search engine traffic had always been steady, but about two months ago, organic search traffic started rising slowly. I checked OSE & a few other tools, but couldn't find any massive source of gained links or other explanations - just the usual occasional blog post about the company. I got in touch with my friend to see if maybe they'd gone with a competitor or something else, but he also had no idea (and even if he wasn't being honest with me, we still should've been able to spot links or social metrics or something!) Then, yesterday, their organic search traffic just tripled. The crazy thing is, it's not from one keyword: Every search term, and (not provided) essentially went up 200-400%. And I have no freaking idea why. No large gain of links. No website editing. The only possible explanation I thought up is maybe one of their competitors got knocked out, but I doubt that would cause such a stratospheric rise. So figured I'd turn to y'all. Any ideas on what might be causing such wonderful results? Anyone have any good tips on figuring out why a website could all of a sudden be doing incredibly? Analytics chart is below for the curious, and thanks in advance for any ideas / tips! nQHrscw.png
