Setting up a new client in 2 minutes

I started PhoneWagon because I was personally frustrated by how difficult (and expensive) it was to set up call tracking. The existing platforms were difficult for me to navigate and took me way too long to figure out how to grab a new phone number and launch a campaign.PhoneWagon is incredibly easy to use and you can set up a new client in less than 2 minutes.

This use case is specifically for agencies who want to use a dynamic phone number on a client's website and track which campaigns are generating phone calls.

Here are the 8 steps involved with setting up a new client:

Here is the workflow to set up a new client:

Step 1: Add Client

To add a client to your account, simply click on the top-right drop-down "My Profile" and then navigate over to "Company" and click "Add Company"

Step1 Add Company

Enter the company name of your client

 Add Company

Step 2: Select Client

After you have added the company in the Company section of My Profile, select the company from the drop-down menu on the left menu.

Step2 Add Company

Step 3: Setup Dynamic Number

Now that you have selected the Company on the left side menu, setup the dynamic number by clicking on "Dynamic Numbers" in the top right drop-down menu.

Step3 Add Company

The dynamic number has 4 main sections- Campaign Name - whatever you want to call this campaign/number. I'd recommend just called it the website of the company (i.e. Ryan's HVAC Website)- What calls are you tracking? - We'd recommend swapping for all traffic. You can also only swap for AdWords only, referral sites only, or traffic other than direct.- Where should the calls go? - this is where you want the calls to forward to (i.e. the number that receives the calls)- Implementing the number - choose area code for the numbers, for pool size you take peak hourly traffic divided by 4 (minimum pool size is 4 numbers), swap target is the number on the website that you want to swap (most likely the current phone number on website), and keep cookie duration at 90 days.

OPTIONAL - There's an "advanced options" section where you can toggle on/off jquery. If your site has a slider and jquery already loading then turn this off.

Step 4: Add code to the website

After you create the dynamic number and click save, we will automatically generate some code for you to drop on your website. Simply copy this code and paste it into your website before the /body tag.

Step4 Add Company

If you're using WordPress, I would recommend installing the plugin "Custom Script Integration" by WPWOX. This plugin will allow you to add scripts to your website.Once you have the plugin installed, simply paste the script into the section before </body> of all pages.

Step 5: Integrate with Google Analytics

Select Integrations on the left side menu and then click on Google Analytics.

Step5 Add Company

Then enter your Google Analytics tracking ID and domain

Step 6: Add Event in Google Analytics

After you have integrated PhoneWagon with Google Analytics, open another tab and go into the Google Analytics account for the company you're setting up in PhoneWagon.Once you're in Google Analytics, click on Admin -->Goals

Step6 Add Company

Add a new goal by clicking "New Goal"

Step-6 Add Company

Name your goal and select the "Type" as "Event". I'd recommend naming it "Phone Calls". Click continue.

Add Company Goal

THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT

For goal details, go to the category section and make sure you have "Equals to" selected. Next, add "PhoneCalls" in this exact spelling and capitalization - no space and capitalize the "P" and the "C".

If you only want to show conversions for first-time callers, add the label "Regular Expression" and then add "FirstTimeCaller" with that exact spelling.If you only want phone calls over a certain duration to show up as conversions, you can set "value greater than x". If you only want phone calls over 30 seconds to show up as conversions you'd put "30" in this field. Click Save.

Goals settings

That's it for Google Analytics.

Step 7: Integrate with Google Adwords

Select Integrations on the left side menu and then click on Google Analytics.

Step7 Add Company

After you authorize Google, you can now select the account that you want to use for this client. If you have an MCC Adwords account, all your subaccounts will appear here.

Step7

You can confirm the integration was successful by navigating over to Adwords in a new tab and looking at your conversion actions. Our integration creates a "PhoneCalls" conversion action.

Step 7

Step 8: Setup Keyword-Level Tracking

If you want to track your phone calls from adwords down to the keyword-level (highly recommend), simply add a tracking template that will get added to all our URLs automatically.Click on Settings –> Account Settings –>Tracking TemplateAdd this code under Tracking Template: {lpurl}?keyword={keyword}Make sure Auto-Tagging is Yes
