Conversion measurement can help you understand how effectively your ads lead to clicks on your business phone number on your mobile website. Unlike other phone call conversion measurement, this feature only tracks clicks on your phone number, not actual phone calls. This article shows you how to track phone number clicks from the mobile version of your website. You can measure clicks on a text link, image, or button.
Before you begin
Here's what you'll need before you can set up phone number click conversion measurement:
- A Google Ads account: Don't have one yet? Sign up for your Google Ads account.
- A website: This is where you'll put the conversion measurement code (called a "tag").
- Ability to edit website: Either you or your web developer will need to be able to add the tag to your website and add a JavaScript snippet with an onclick event handler.
Step 1: Measure conversions from phone calls
- Go to Summary within the Goals
menu.
- Select + Create conversion action.
- Select Conversions from phone calls.
- Select Continue.
Step 2: Set up phone call conversions
Part 1: Choose the conversion category you want to measure
Choose the conversion category (or categories) you want to measure. Categories help you group multiple conversions together. The category should be the most closely related to the user action you are measuring. If you don’t find exactly what you are looking for, choose the next best category to sort your conversion.
Select a category from one of the top 4 categories recommended for you or select see all to view all category options.
- If you have an existing conversion(s) already grouped into that category, we will let you know how many conversions already exist in that category.
Part 2: Define your conversion
- Select + Add a conversion action.
- Select Calls from ads, Calls from website visits, or Calls via uploads.
- For phone calls from website visits, define your event by selecting Someone calls a number shown on my website and add your phone number.
- Alternatively, you can select Someone makes a call by clicking a number on my website. Google will give you instructions at the end of the workflow to enable this.
- For calls via uploads, select Settings and follow the instructions to complete calls via uploads in the next steps.
- Select Save and continue to save the conversion action.
