How to create them and set them into action on your landing page
Updated: August 26, 2024
Number pools are a great way to track the calls driven by paid campaigns. Using number pools, you can attribute call-tracking conversations based on specific phone numbers being shown to leads that land on designated landing pages and websites. These numbers(s) are only displayed on specific pages and are only shown to leads who take a specific course of action.
How to Create Number Pools
- Click on Settings
- Click on Phone Numbers > select the Add Number Pool dropdown and choose "Add Number Pool"
- Click on Visitors Activity (Marketing Campaign functions the same as a normal campaign phone number) > select Next: Tracking Options
- Choose who you would like to monitor visiting the landing page. Once you pick which visitors you want to track, select Next: Create Pool
- We recommend tracking All visitors.
- If you select PPC search, the number on the website will only switch when the visitors are landing from a paid ad.
- Once you fill out all information:
- Number Name - ex: Owner Landing Page
- Pool Size - The count of tracking numbers in your pool determines how many visitors can call your website at the same time. The recommended size of your pool is a quarter of your peak hourly traffic in Google Analytics with a minimum of four.
- Forward Calls To - The phone number to be rung when your tracking number is dialed.
- Swapping Number - The number that will be used on the website to automatically update and swap with one of the pool numbers. Recommend checking the box "Same As Forwarding Number" for ease.
- Check the box "I acknowledge I am purchasing and adding X new phone numbers".
- Select Next: Choose Numbers
- Create Tracking Numbers > choose the type of numbers you would like to use (local numbers to the forwarding number, toll free numbers or numbers in a specific area code) > select Next: Number Features.
- Set up Whisper Message / Call recording
- Click on Activate Number
