📞 Lead Tracking Setup: Don’t Lose Your Leads!

Tracking leads properly is essential for measuring performance and ROI.

🔧 1. Enable Google Ads Conversion Tracking

Track when a user:

  • Submits an inquiry form

  • Calls directly from the ad

  • Clicks WhatsApp or chat

Steps:

  • Create a conversion action in Google Ads

  • Add the tracking code to your website (or use Google Tag Manager)

  • Track specific buttons or thank-you page visits

📈 2. Connect Google Ads with Google Analytics (GA4)

  • View detailed user behavior post-click

  • Set goals like "form submission" or "page view duration"

  • Track funnel drop-offs

📲 3. Use Call Tracking Software

Use tools like:

  • CallRail

  • Exotel

  • Knowlarity

  • MyOperator

You’ll be able to:

  • Track the source of every call

  • Record and analyze conversations

  • Attribute calls to specific campaigns/keywords

💬 4. CRM or Google Sheets Integration

  • Use a CRM like Zoho, HubSpot, or Real Geeks

  • Automatically log leads from forms, calls, and WhatsApp

  • Track follow-ups, site visits, and conversions

Don’t want a CRM? Use Google Sheets with Zapier or Make (Integromat) for basic automation.
