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.

Gap in Google PPC Ads & Organic search results - New test by Google?
Hi All, Just noticed an unusual gap in PPC ads and organic search results in google NZ. while searched the same term in Google AU, it wasn't the same. Did anyone here see something similar? Is this a new test by Google to get more clicks on PPC ads and pushing down organic results? Looking forward to hear from the community. Cheers, Rattan wcB6DL1.jpg

AdWords & Iframes?
We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains. They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages. The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign? Thanks!

3 domains, Same keywords targeting - Best way of managing this?
Hi, I manage 3 domains and am just about to start doing some Branded PPC (to start with) to promote these the problem is that that 2 of the domains sell the exactly same products under the same brand names. What is the most efficient way of setting this up. Obviously by setting up separate accounts and using the MCC I can manage the accounts accordingly, but i am going to be increasing my competition for my own brand terms. As far as i am aware google is not happy with you mixing 2 domains in one account? We also sell our products via a wholesale channel so there is competition with other competitors as well. The 3 sites is slightly different so has less overlap and its not until we hit generic terms that there is some form of competition, between site but i am not worried about this. Can you help? Regards Ben

Have you seen a correlation in between running a PPC campaing and increased SEO ranking for a new site (< 3 months old)?
I have read many conflicting articles on this topic. I understand that running a PPC campaign at a launch phase of a site can get a lot of insights such as exact traffic patterns etc. But the question is: is there a correlation or not with increased rankings position for new site as search engine are forced to crawled that given landing page to give your ad a score? Thanks in advance for your answers and opinion
