Yes! The AvidTrak JavaScript is a Universal tracking script which tracks clicks from Search (Paid and Organic), Display and Referral Sources which send you traffic.
We recommend that you get at least 1 number per each visitor per hour. For example if your Adwords campaign generates 100 clicks over 10 hours you would need at least 10 tracking numbers.
To get a more accurate average hourly traffic flow rate you may refer to your Google Analytics account and look at hourly traffic rates.
You would pay for your monthly phone number rental plus phone talk time. AvidTrak Pricing is very competitive and we offer a free trial as well.
Yes. With AvidTrak you may choose to track all your or only a selected set of keywords.
Implementing a call tracking system for a targeted set of high value keywords allows you to focus your attention on only those keywords that incur you the most expenditure.
Organic keywords are increasingly being masked by search engines. An alternative strategy that is available to SEO specialists is to derive which page and combination of pages thereof lead to phone calls.
By using call tracking numbers specifically for the purposes of page visit URL tracking an SEO specialist may gather valuable data on which web pages act as entry pages and which pages are call conversion pages.
You do not need to get 1 number for each traffic source. If your Referral Source traffic rate (from all sources) is say 10 per day you could manage with just 2 numbers.
The answer depends on the value of the click. If you are paying more than $3 per click for links placed on a 3rd party website (such as a blog) then you should dedicate a tracking number for that link. If you are not getting calls from the clicks, then it may be time for you renegotiate the cost of the click.
