Choosing Your Call Tracking Company
If you’ve ever typed ‘call tracking’ into your search engine of choice, you’re probably already aware that there are several call tracking companies to choose from. It’s great to have options, but it can make the process of choosing the right company a little overwhelming. The truth is, you want a company that comes equipped to meet your business’s specific needs regardless of the company’s popularity or promises. There are many features that call tracking companies offer, but we’ve narrowed it down to six characteristics that should come standard if you want to have the optimal call tracking experience.
What You Should Look For
1. Reliability
Reliability is one of the most important factors you should think about when deciding what call tracking company to use. If or when something goes wrong, how quick is the company to fix it and will you lose any of your data in the meantime? CallRail uses reliable, trusted carriers that route millions of calls each day. We also have a secondary system on standby to route calls in the event of problems occurring with our primary system, allowing us to make sure your call data is always being tracked and that your calls are always connected.
2. Responsiveness
How long does it take the company to answer your questions and concerns? Our full-time dedicated support staff makes it easy to get quick responses and around the clock support on the phone or over email. We also have a Google Ads (formerly AdWords) Certified professional on staff to provide assistance on any ad related issues. When it comes to responsiveness, it should not only be reflected by the company, but by the customers themselves.
