Call Tracking

Call tracking uses unique phone numbers to identify which marketing channels, campaigns, or keywords generate phone calls. By assigning different tracking numbers to different sources, marketers can attribute calls accurately, measure campaign ROI, and optimize spending toward channels that drive real leads.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Phone calls are often the highest-quality leads for home care agencies—families prefer calling to discuss sensitive care needs rather than filling out forms. Without call tracking, you can’t know whether those calls came from Google Ads, organic search, Facebook, or a direct mail piece.

Implementing call tracking with tools like CallRail or CallTrackingMetrics allows you to see which keywords trigger calls, record calls for quality review, and integrate call data with Google Analytics and CRM systems. This visibility is essential for calculating true cost-per-lead and ROI across marketing channels.

Key Takeaway

Implement call tracking before scaling any marketing spend. The insight gained from knowing which channels and keywords generate phone leads often reveals surprising findings—and prevents wasted budget on underperforming campaigns.
