CallRail


CallRail provides trackable phone numbers for your marketing campaigns. Imagine this scenario:

You plant unique phone numbers on each of your Google ads and landing pages. Each number forwards to your sales team.

With CallRail, you can find out:

  • Which phone conversation came from which ad, which traffic source, and which keyword?
  • Who on your team picked up the phone and what was the conversation?

With CallRail AND Kissmetrics, you can connect the dots between phones calls, website activity, email opens/clicks, mobile app activity, etc. Kissmetrics reports will let you answer:

  • How do your callers interact with your website after the call?
  • If deals aren’t closed over the phone, does the person eventually buy through your website, without contacting your sales team?
  • How much lifetime revenue comes from people who called at some point vs. those who have never called?

Aliasing Phone Numbers to Anonymous IDs

When a person visits a webpage with the Kissmetrics tracking code block installed, Kissmetrics automatically sets a unique anonymous ID to the person (e.g. zaBWFYwcDWJZlQV1DVFtg2I96s8=) as a value for the property, Customer ID. When that person calls a CallRail-associated phone number on the website, CallRail will set the caller’s phone number (e.g. +18882345678) as another value for the property, Customer ID, and Kissmetrics will alias the phone number to the anonymous ID. This is how Kissmetrics knows that the phone call was tied to that website visitor and all of that visitor’s actions.
