The fourth option under the Reports section is Number Performance.

Many of our clients use the phone numbers on their accounts as Tracking Phone numbers. Tracking Numbers are a marketing tool that enables you to identify which lead channel is performing best. You secure multiple phone numbers and assign a different one to each marketing channel or advertisement. Then, when the number is called or texted, you know which marketing asset is responsible for the lead. With this information, you can decide where to continue to invest your advertising dollars to get the best ROI.

Through smrtPhone, you can secure phone numbers in any area code within the country or get a toll-free number that is nationwide. For many prospects, it matters to see a local phone number; they want to do business with someone local because it makes them feel better understood. It supports a reputation of being understanding and more human. Some smrtPhone clients want to project an image of being large and experienced, so a toll-free number is better suited to their needs. Whatever works for your business strategy, you will be able to understand the specific performance of your tracking numbers in this report.
