One of AvidTrak’s most popular reports utilizes AvidTrak’s integration with Google Adwords (achieved by utilizing the Adwords API). The integration with Adwords allows AvidTrak to import your Adwords data into AvidTrak and present the same after merging AvidTrak call matching data with Adwords data. The results are transparent: you get to see how well each keyword performed in creating calls and online conversions. Because Adwords also provides data on costs associated with the respective keyword we provide you with another valuable data point: the Adwords costs to create that phone call via a specific keyword.

You may view report of cost of call and cost per conversion not only for your keyword data but also view similarly aligned reports for your campaigns, ad groups and ads.

Use the Adwords Integrated Report to drill into campaign and keyword efficacy in terms of direct costs paid to Google for creating phone calls.

However, the value proposition of AvidTrak’s Adwords Integrated Report is that it breaks out calls and online conversions separately for each keyword. This ability to assess a keyword based on its potential to create a call vs online conversion is extremely helpful for lead generators in formulating bid tactics.

Digital Marketing Agencies have to work not only on improving the performance of the campaigns that they undertake on behalf of the clients but also create easy to understand reports for their clients. AvidTrak allows its agency clientele the ability to setup automated, individualized reports to be emailed to the agency’s client base. But we go one step further. We also allow our agency clientele to bench mark the performance of the campaigns of one set of its client base against another.

To illustrate the above with an example, let’s take the case of Nancy who works for a media agency which specializes in creating leads for plumbers. Using AvidTrak’s agency interface Nancy creates a “control” group by placing some of her plumber clients into the group and then creating another group for the “test” group. Nancy then runs her test campaigns and sees the difference in clicks and phone calls thereof between the control and test groups. Because AvidTrak Agency Interface allows for data aggregation across an agency’s client base, an agency is able to quickly look at and recognize patterns that may impact its tactics.

Using AvidTrak’s data aggregation capability for your clients operating within the same vertical allows you to leverage keywords as well as ad creative effectively.
