For Franchisees who use Paid Search and Display Advertising Campaigns to generate phone leads, have different site numbers based on different locations

Many Franchise companies conduct Internet advertising on behalf of their Franchisees. An advertising tactic frequently utilized by the Franchisor is to create a single Metropolitan “Metro” page which then manifests multiple franchisees (typically in a matrix format) on what is called a Metro-Page.

The Metro Page Franchisee Matrix captures each individual Franchisee’s name, location and a single call tracking phone number. In conducting an Internet Advertising and Marketing campaign, one of the challenges that a Franchisor typically faces is related to determining which keyword, campaign, ad and referral source leads to a phone call to a particular Franchisee. AvidTrak-Metro is a call tracking solution geared towards providing Franchisors with information tying back inbound calls to a franchisee with web visits. Inbound phone calls are matched to search keyword, ad, Campaign-name and web referral source.

AvidTrak Site Group Call Tracking allows Franchisors a user-friendly software platform that yields keyword level call tracking statistics and caller details for each Franchisee location manifested on a single Metro Page.

The AvidTrak call tracking platform is structured such that each Franchisee location is considered to be a group to which call tracking numbers may be “allocated” after the same have been assigned to specific channels.

Once setup this way, calls are matched to visits for each of the various locations, and appropriate reports are produced.
