What's the best call tracking system to use for PPC & subsequent landing pages?
-
Client has about 30 locations. Not planning to get too fancy (i.e. like putting JS on the page so that a dynamically generated phone is displayed to track keywords). At this point, just we only want to see if PPC is providing telephone conversions.
I've used Mongoose Metrics before and it seemed good. However, I don't want to go with something simply because it's what I already know. Would love to know some of your favourites and if there are better options.
Also - client is in Canada. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I didn't realize you could port your number over to an existing call tracking provider. That's interesting. Will see if that's an option that fits into our strategy. Was thinking more along the lines of having a few different numbers to try out and also to use test using local numbers in the various service areas. But like I said, this offers another interesting option. I'm not overly worried about NAP consistency as we used the noidex directives on the landing pages and don't have them linked off the main site or sitemap.. Thanks! Great food for thought.

Thanks for the response. I am talking about AdWords.
Do you know if it's acceptable to use AdWords forwarding numbers on the landing page so that it matches the ad? AdWords is not clear on that point in any documentation that I've read. From my understanding, you're not supposed to, and that Google might change the number they use at any time, so that tactic can backfire completely.
Happen to know about any of this?

This is a great article about how to do call tracking and use a consistent local number which is best for your local marketing efforts.

Hi Stephanie,
are you talking about Google AdWords or Bing?
If you are talking about Google Adwords you can use Google forwarding numbers and it is also available in Canada.

Tracking Chat Conversions on WP?
We have a WordPress site where we use the plugin Chatra for our chats. It works great...except, that you cannot track conversions from Google Ads. There is another plugin called Apex that allows tracking, but their people answer the phone instead of ours. So does anyone know a way or a plugin where we can have chat enable on our website that our people are solely responsible for responding to that allows you to track conversions from Google Ads? Thanks, Ruben

Is it better to place PPC when competition is high or low?
When managing a clients PPC campaign is there any advice on throttling up and down the accounts depending on the search popularity. Let's take "wedding cake" there are obvious trends here https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=wedding cake but would you advise to spend more on Ads during the quite months as competition is low and you can get more click for less cost, or do you load up on clicks when it is more competitive/expencive . Please don't get bogged down in the "weeding cake" keyword, I'm looking more for views on when would be best to load an account in terms of return on investment. For example would you get better quality clicks when low search volumes as opposed to high. Lets also assume that our product costs us the same all year round. I have seen different side to the story. What are your views

How to change booking system in SERP for a Hotel Result
Hi, I was wondering how can I change the reservation system that appears in the SERP when someone search for a hotel. Now, the price that is showing is from booking.com. Of course the Hotel wants to use its own reservation system. How could I do that? If It's possible, of course. I have attached an screenshot so that you can see an example. Thank you. serp.jpg

Has anyone used Adroll (Facebook retargeting)with any success?
Hello! I am wondering if anyone out there has had a good experience with Adroll. I set up a campaign a couple months ago, but have yet to see any return on my investment.

Which landing page is used to calculate "Landing Page Experience" of a keyword in Adwords?
In Google Adwords, one ad group can have multiple landing pages, yet keywords are shared. So when I look at the keywords, they use one of the landing pages from ads, but which one? Shall we create separate ad groups and set only one landing page per group to avoid this problem? If this is the way then how come landing page is not a shared property like the keywords in ad groups? I hope someone with enough Google Adwords experience can help me here. Thanks,

Google PPC - coupon balances
So, I know that you can't simply transfer a coupon credit in Google AdWords to another account. My question, if anyone knows, is there a way to do this using My Client Center? We manage multiple accounts, and have another coming on board that has a pre-existing coupon credit. We were going to set up a new account (which we would handle billing for and just invoice) for the client. But, that would leave them unable to use a coupon code. If it's managed under MCC, is there a way to work around this?
