Call tracking for firms: questions
What should a marketing firm look for in call tracking?
Four things: enough numbers to cover every client and campaign, reporting that compares call volume by source over time, call recording for quality review, and pricing that scales per number rather than per seat.
How does number-based call tracking work?
Each campaign or medium gets its own number — a 1300, 1800 or regional number. Calls to each number are counted and reported separately, so the website number and the radio number produce comparable volumes.
How many tracking numbers does a firm need?
Roughly one per client campaign medium you want to compare: a website number, a print number, a radio number, and so on. Because numbers are inexpensive, firms usually start with a handful and add as campaigns multiply.
How much does call tracking cost?
Our call tracking plans start at $5 a month per number, with call data charged per minute as part of the plan. Numbers are available from more than 40 regions. Current tiers are on the pricing page.
Which call tracking software is best for a marketing firm? We will not pretend there is an objective answer — "best" depends on how many clients you run, which channels you buy, and how deep you need attribution to go. What we can do honestly is give you the evaluation criteria that matter for agencies, and describe exactly what our platform does, so you can compare like with like.
The criteria that actually matter for firms
- Number capacity at sane cost. Agency tracking multiplies fast — one number per client per medium. Pricing that scales per number rather than per seat keeps twenty campaigns affordable. Our call tracking plans start at $5 a month per number.
- Comparable reporting by source. The core job: call volumes for the website number, the radio number and the print number, compared over the same period, so budget conversations have numbers attached.
- Call recording for quality review. Agencies that optimise landing pages but not phone handling miss half the funnel. Recording lets you review how leads are actually handled — our call tracking includes recording at no extra feature charge.
- Geographic number coverage. Client campaigns are regional. Numbers from more than 40 regions let a Brisbane campaign and a Melbourne campaign carry locally recognisable digits.
- Reporting a client can understand. Whatever you buy, the export needs to make sense in a monthly client update: volumes by number, by period, without a data-science layer.
What our call tracking does
The model is deliberately simple. Each campaign or advertising medium is allocated its own number — 1300, 1800, local or regional numbers are all usable for tracking. You place each number on its matching asset: the website, a radio script, business cards, a landing page. Calls to each number are then reported separately, so over time you can see exactly how many calls each medium generated and compare performance across campaigns and periods.
Recording rides along with the reporting, giving the retrospective view of how those calls were handled. Pricing runs from $5 a month with call data charged per minute as part of the plan — the call tracking pillar explains the workflow and the pricing page lists current tiers.
What this model does not do — stated plainly
Number-based tracking attributes calls to the medium that displays the number. It does not do session-level attribution (identifying which keyword or ad a web visitor clicked before calling) or swap numbers dynamically per visitor. If your campaigns need that depth, evaluate tools that offer it explicitly and price it accordingly. For most agency reporting — which campaign medium generated the calls — per-number tracking answers the question at a fraction of the complexity.
A fair way to run your evaluation
- List the client mediums you need to separate this quarter; that sets your number count.
- Price each candidate on that number count, not on the headline plan.
- Ask each vendor exactly which attribution level they sell: per-number or per-session.
- Trial the reporting output against one live client campaign before committing the roster.
When you are ready to test the per-number model, call tracking covers the setup workflow, or pick numbers straight from the available numbers pool.
