What is the best solution to track conversions on local plumbing site (non-mobile)?
-
What is the best solution to track conversions on our local plumbing site? 95% of leads coming from phone calls, the rest – from the contact form we have on every page.
Is there a reliable solutions to track conversion rate for non-mobile local site?
As a side note, we have 6 different phone numbers on our site that users can call in order to reach us.

Hi Dinok - just saw this response or I would have responded sooner.
Check out a solution like callrail.com, mongoosemetrics.com, or callfire.com.
Basically they will adjust the phone number displayed based upon how the user found your website (eg direct visit or organic search by keyword or ppc visit by keyword). They typically can tie into goals in Analytics.
This is the best solution for businesses that rarely get contact form submissions.

@ Beardo:
We have separate landing pages for separate towns that we cover in different counties.
Depending on what county it is, we use a specific phone number that is a local number for that particular county.
@ Kane:
You are correct, changing phone number is not a good option since it would require changing tons of listing across the web in order to get our places page ranking well again, possibly taking it out of serp for many months.
As for you comment regarding javascript solution, did you mean it for one "universal" landing pages that adjust depending on the visitor origin? We use separate unique landing pages for different towns and they have a static phone numbers assigned to them.
I am looking for something that would allow me to optimize my site for higher conversions, preferably tied up to our GA data. Since we have calls for action along with phone number on every single page, a lot of calling people never make it to "Contact us" page. So I cannot use "Visit to Contact us page" goal as a reliable tracking factor.

Changing the phone number across the site is going to cause issues with local citations which are going to be essential for a plumber, so this probably won't be the best solution for call tracking. Typically local business call tracking should be done using javascript-based tracking solutions that dynamically change the phone number based upon the source of the visit.

What I would do is get a phone number from Google Voice and put that on the website. You can then track the logs on that specific phone number. You mention you have six phone numbers, why? Alternatively you can create a landing page with a Google Voice number and use it for your PPC and social media campaigns.

Adwords landing pages with no site links
Adwords best practices say to focus landing pages on conversions, with no navigational links to the rest of your website so they don't get distracted. However, now that Google Ads in the SERPs look so similar to organic results, visitors may click the ads instead of the organic result because that's what they see first. What is the risk of turning off these visitors who come to a landing page with a form, instead of a way to navigate through the rest of your site? Discussion question: Trade-offs between a form-focused landing page and providing navigation to the rest of the site?

Better Conversions with Java Script Pop Up Form or with Independent Page (URL)?
Greetings MOZ Community? I manage a commercial real estate site (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com). Visitors view listings (for example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings/303-broadway-building-office-sublet-11189sf). If they want more details they click on the "Interested In This Space, Contact a Broker" button. They get directed to a contact us form like: http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/contact-us?from_listing=303-broadway-building-office-sublet-11189sf We are redesigning this form. Remove much of the text and allowing the visitor to check questions pertaining to the property, like "Schedule a Tour", "Get Floorplans", "Details on Similar Space'. Currently this conversion form is on its own URL, and as such has menus on top, which I am concerned could distract the visitor. Would we get better conversions if this form was a Java script pop up with no menus. That way there would be no distraction for the visitor and we would have a better chance of converting them. Any thoughts? Also, we are using Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to track conversions. Would changing to a Java Script pop up form have any implications for tracking? Thanks everyone!!! Alan

Brand Name: Conversion Rate Optimizing: Eponymous VS Generic
Good day all, We are entertaining the idea of changing the Domain Name & Brand Name for straplessfashion.com. While still in development, the website sells women undergarments. We did some survey research and it seems that women (age 18-40) really liked either "Demi's Dream" or "Almost Skin" as a good name. More specifically, Almost Skin seems to be the more popular choice over "Demi's Dream". I think "Almost Skin" catches attention quicker and may work best in PPC. However, when personalizing a brand name is considered, "Demi's Dream" might be the best choice. Would you please offer your advise on which of these two names might be the best for a new Domain and Brand name for the website mentioned above? Which would convert better? Thank you for your help. Carlos

I really don’t have any data to compare to… For example, this is campaign from the insurance niche from the uk : Clicks – 132
Impr – 6,958
CTR- 1.90%
Conversion – 20 (Not inducing the one that calls the office)
Conversion rate – 16%
Total cost – 704£ How can i know by these number that the campaign is working ? Same here (T-shirts campaign for the Spanish market): Clicks – 1,219
Impr – 26,177
CTR- 4.66%
Conversion – 56
Conversion rate – 4.5%
Total cost – 493€ Probably you will say, check how much you spend and how much you got back ?
This is also a problem for me. I can see the numbers of the conversion but because we are not eCommerce so i cant really know the total income. Do you know if there’s is a way that each for quote that coming to our system
so i will know where it came from ? Like a comment in the url or something ? I think that 90% of our income/quotes comes from the organic as we are ranking very high in Google so its a bit mixed in the system. Any feedback or tips here on this will be very welcome…0 -

Video Conversions
1)I have observed that female voice converts more then male voice in videos. Any one had experienced this stat? 2)Videos without person reading the slides, what's your take on this? As far as my experiences I have made some videos with music background only, but it seems like that videos with person's voice convert more. Is there any video regarding video conversions and video backlinks.

Create better conversion at checkout?
I'm getting extremely poor conversion rates at checkout..would like to hear some ideas to increase checkout. Last month we had 60 users who added to cart, and only 7 who converted. We offer merchant CC, PayPal, and GCO, so I don't believe payment options is the reason for the exit. Any ideas?
