By Mary,

There has been several times where I ran online campaings for clients whos main converstion goal is to generate phone calls. This poses a problem for many business owners becuase of the lack of tracking ability.

One way around this is to assign unique phone numbers to specific online traffic sources (e.g. PPC, SEO, keywords, domains, ads, emails) to track conversions. There are two tools you can use for this:

1. Google Voice

Google Voice lets you create free multiple phone numbers within any area code in the country (only available in U.S.). You can attach each number to specific campaigns. With Google Voice you can  to track how many phone calls an specific  ad is generating. Each phone number gets forwarded to any phone you may choose. It saves voice online with the ability to listen in on messages while they’re being left. Another cool feature is that It transcribes your voicemail to text, so you can monitor your sales force.

Here are  some other aditional things you can do with Google Voice:
  1. Read transcriptions of voicemails. Watch a video »
