Why Call Tracking Matters in 2025
Most small businesses still rely on phone calls to close deals. But without proper tracking:
- You can’t tell which ad drove the call
- ROI is based on guesswork
- Sales teams don’t follow up consistently
Call tracking gives you clear attribution, lets you optimize spend, and creates a better sales process.
