Our Google Ads integration captures the Google click ID (gclid) for each of your website visitors. When a form is submitted, Google Ads recognizes the click ID we send and creates that form submission as a conversion automatically.
Getting Started
This feature is available on the Forms Essentials plan. Additionally, CallRails integration with Google Ads requires the following:
- The JavaScript snippet installed on your website - Keyword-level tracking - Auto-tagging enabled in your Google Ads account
For this tutorial, we'll assume you've already integrated your CallRail account with Google Ads. If you havent linked your accounts yet, follow the instructions in this support article first, then return to this article to complete setup: Google Ads Integration

View ArticleAuto-Lead Data Format (ADF) is a standard format usedby most CRMs in the auto industry to capture and share information about customer leads. Our ADF integration generates ADF XML files whenever calls are made to your tracking numbers, and sends the files to your CRM via email.
How to Send Calls as ADF files
Click the Settings tab.
Select your company from the dropdown menu.
Locate and click on the Auto-lead Data Format integration tile.
Enter the email address associated with your automotive CRM.
Select whether you want to send the ADF file in the body of the email or as an attachment. (Your CRM may require files to be sent one way or the other. Check with your CRM to determine which method is required.)
Click theActivate button.
Dealing with Duplicate Leads
Our integration creates an XML lead file in your CRM for every call, so when the same person calls you more than once, duplicate leads are created. There are two approaches to dealing with duplicates:
Go through your CRM and combine any leads that have the same phone number.
Create an integration trigger in CallRail to filter out calls from repeat callers, so only calls from first-time callers are processed by our ADF integration.
What info is included in ADF?
Each lead listed in an ADF XML file contains the following categories, or "blocks," of information:
Date and time
Vehicle info
Customer (buyer) info
Vendor (dealer)info
Service provider info (optional)
Within these categories, a variety of optionalsubcategories, known as "tags," may be added to include more data. These tags are standard in every ADF XML file.
CallRail adds additional tags in the customer info block to provide useful call data. These additional tags will be populated automatically when available and include:
Recording URL (a link to the recording of the call) Call duration Answered (if the call was answered or not) Tracking phone number Source name Campaign name Answering number Call start time Agent email (email of the person answering the phone) Landing page (where the caller landed when the reached your website, if the call came from your website tracking number) Last requested page(the last page on your website the caller was on before calling, if the call came from your website tracking number) Value (value of the lead, if entered into CallRail by you) Tags (any tags you've applied to the call within CallRail) Notes UTM Source UTM Medium UTM Campaign GCLID

View ArticleCallRail's Google Ads Mobile Click-to-Call integration allows you to track keywords associated with your customer's mobile searches and view calls from click-to-call ad extensions as conversions in Google Ads. We recommend using this article as a resource if you come across any hurdles during the integration setup, within the Ads account, or within the CallRail application.

If this occurs, disable the integration for the incorrect Google account and log in to the correct one before following the integration steps.How long has the integration been active?After the initial set up, it can sometimes take 24-48 hours for the first call conversion to appear in your Google Ads account.Check your Google Ads integration triggers. Ensure therearen'tintegration trigger settings preventing the desired conversions from being pushed into Google Ads.
Ex: You can set up an integration trigger to only send Mobile CTC calls that are > 5 minutes long to Google Ads. However, if all calls so far are 2 minutes long, then none of the calls will report as conversions. Learn about integration triggers.Is auto-tagging enabled within the Google Ads Mobile CTC account? Auto-tagging adds the visitor's gclid (Google Click ID) to the site's final URL, which is one of the things our application looks for when attributing a call to Google Ads. Without our system being able to recognize a call as Google Ads, we're unable to send it to Google Ads as a conversion. Read this Google help article on enabling auto-tagging in Google Ads. The conversion name must be Phone Call.Changing the name of the conversion name Phone Call in Google Ads will prevent CallRail from sending conversion data. However, you can edit the other conversion fields if you like.

Active Calls: Customers who are currently speaking with a representative.
Recently: Customer who recently called your tracking phone numbers.

View ArticleA whisper message is a short message that plays to the person answering the phone beforethey'reconnected to the caller. Only the person who answers the call hears this message; the caller does not hear the whisper message.
Whisper messages are a great way to quickly find out which marketing campaign prompted a phone call so you can tailor your approach to every call, even before it begins.
This powerful knowledge gives you real-time feedback on which marketing campaigns are driving calls to your business. More importantly, it gives you an informational head start that helps your team convert more leads to customers.
Getting Started
We recommend making the person or team that will be answering calls aware of the whisper message in place on a tracking number. Since the whisper message plays to the call recipient before the call is connected, theyll want to wait for the whisper message to play in its entirety before greeting the caller.
Adding a Whisper Message to a New Number
You can add a whisper message to each tracking number you create within the number creation wizard. Once your number is active, you'll begin hearing the whisper message on calls received by this tracking number before the call is connected.
Click the Create (+) icon in the navigation bar on the left and select Phone Number.
Choose the company where you'd like to add your new tracking number.
Create your tracking number. On the last step of the number creation process, check the box for Whisper Message, and enter the message that youd like to play when a call is received. Prevent voicemails and automated systems from answering a call
Select Activate Tracking Number.
Adding a Whisper Message to an Existing Number
You can add a whisper message to any existing tracking number. Once you add the whisper message to a tracking number, all calls going forward will play the whisper message before connecting to the caller.

FAQs
Whycan'tI hear the whisper message?
If there is an automated answering service, greeting, or hunt group associated with a destination number, this may interfere with hearing the whisper message. Since the whisper message plays as soon as a call is connected, despite not being connected to a representative, these setups on a destination number will interfere with whisper message settings.
In this case, we recommend using the call flow builder to prevent automated systems from answering the call. This allows the whisper message to play when someone answers the call if your destination number is on a system mentioned above. Use this support article to learn more about this feature:
.
What does the caller hear while the whisper message plays?
The caller continues to hear ringing while the whisper message plays. Using a whisper message is only a feature that the call recipient will experience.
Can I delay a whisper message from playing?
The whisper message will begin to play as soon as the call is answered. If youd like for important details in the whisper message to play later in the recording, we recommend padding the whisper message so the most important details play last. For example, instead of Call from PPC campaign, you could create a whisper that says, This is an incoming call from your PPC campaign."
How do I use the [source]keyphrase in a whisper message?
The [source] keyphrase dynamically inserts contextual information such as a call's source in your whisper message. For example, you could create a whisper message that says, "This is an incoming call from [source]," and get a resulting whisper message like"This is an incoming call from Google Organic." The [source] keyphrase can also be used in conjunction with the [tag] and [keyword] keyphrases.
How do I use the [tag]keyphrase in a whisper message?
The [tag] keyphrase will dynamically insert call tags into your whisper message. For example, you could create a whisper message that says, "This called has been tagged as [tag]," and get a resulting whisper message like"This call has been tagged as Sales."The [tag] keyphrase can also be used in conjunction with the [source] and [keyword] keyphrases.
How do I use the [keyword]keyphrase in a whisper message?
The [keyword] keyphrase will dynamically insert the PPC keywords the visitors used to find your website into your whisper message. The keywords we'll detect will only be keywords you're actively bidding on in your PPC platform. For example, you could create a whisper message that says, "This caller found your website using the following [keyword]," and get a resulting whisper message like"This call has been tagged as automotive Atlanta."The [keyword] keyphrase can also be used in conjunction with the [tag] and [source] keyphrases.

How long are my recordings stored?
Call recordings are stored indefinitely.
Why are my recordings shorter than the length of the call?
Call recordings are typically shorter than the call duration because we automatically trim off the silence at the beginning of the call, as well as the time that the caller spends on the phone while it is ringing.
Am I able to pause call recording in the middle of a call?
Its not possible to pause call recording in the middle of a call; however, you are able to disable call recording on an existing tracking number to comply with legal or privacy needs.
Can I delete a call recording?
Yes. Use these instructions to see how you can delete a call's recording: Delete a Call Recording
Can I download my recordings in bulk?
At this time, theres not a way to bulk download recordings. Use these instructions to see how you can download individual call recordings: I have call recording turned on, but I don't see my recording yet. If you've confirmed call recording is on for your tracking numbers, it may take a few minutes for your call recording to appear in our system. In most cases, if you have several long calls that aren't uploading fast enough, we recommend giving it a few minutes, as recording files are significantly larger than most data CallRail displays. Can I use call recording within a HIPAA account?The same laws apply to call recordings in a HIPAA account as they do in a standard CallRail account. You will need to check with your state laws and legal department to determine if you need to notify the caller that the call is being recorded. If you wish to record calls, you can listen to them in a HIPAA account as long as you are logged in to that account.

FAQs
Do my text messages and form submissions also follow my integration triggers?
CallRail's triggers only filter data for calls to your tracking numbers. Text messages and form submissions won't follow integration trigger rules.
View ArticleIfyou'veever answered your phone and heard silence, static, or an automated message on the other end of the line, then you understand the frustration of receiving a call from a robodialer. Since these robocallers often spoof the caller ID, unfortunately, it's difficult to block and prevent them from calling random phone numbers. Additionally, the act of spoofing of the caller ID makes these calls look like legitimate callers, and blocking a single legitimate phone call is unacceptable.
Challenging Calls
When a keyword tracking pool is created, it is automatically equipped witha spam prevention tool. This tool allows CallRail to identify ifthe numbers within your keyword tracking pool have been assigned to visitors coming to your website.
If you receive a call, and your keyword numbers haven't yet been assigned to a website visitor, CallRail will automatically challenge that call with a message that states, "This numberwon'tbe activated until it is displayed to a customer on your website. To place your call anyway, please press 1 now."
Thismessage, which challenges calls to keyword tracking numbers that have not been recently assigned, reduces the likelihood thatthese numbers will betargeted by spam calls.Follow the instructions below if you wish to turn this default feature off.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
Click Tracking at the top of the page.
Choose the company where youd like to stop challenging calls.
SelectBlocked Numbers in the Calls & Texts menu.
Find the option forCalls to Inactive Numbers and change the selection to theAllowoption.
Block Robocallers & Telemarketers
Each CallRail account is automatically configured to "Challenge" telephone numbers that are known robodialers and/or telemarketers (this service is included at no additional cost). This advanced anti-spam technology allows CallRail to check the telephone number of each incoming call to your tracking numbers against a collaborative database of telephone numbers that are known robodialers. If a caller's telephone number is notin this database, the call will route to your tracking number as expected, and with no delay.
Using a Menu Within the Call Flow Builder
The Call Flow Builder was created to catch or divert spam callers by creating steps that would challenge the caller, solving a spam problem with 100% accuracy. By creating a "Menu" within a CallRail Call Flow, the call won't appear on your call log (or be billed) if the caller doesn't successfully navigate the menu. If the caller reaches the menu and listens to the menu three times without selecting a menu option, CallRail will automatically prevent that call from showing on your call log, reports, and your billing.
Since we are unable to prevent people from calling a telephone number, filtering out the call within the menu is a great line of defense for spam or robocallers. Here's how to set up a menu in a company's Call Flow Builder.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
Click Tracking at the top of the page.
Select yourCall Flowsfrom the Calls & Texts menu.
Choose + Create New Call Flow at the top of the page.
Within the box, "What would you like to happen first?" select Menu.
On the menu step, choose to type in a greeting that will be read to your callers in a robot-like voice, or you can upload your own recording of your Menu options. Then, write a brief description of where or who the call will be forwarded to (this description will not be announced to the caller). You can add up to 13 menu options. submit a ticket to our support team
Next, you will decide what will happen after the caller presses a number. Inthis example, "If the caller Presses 1," we will forward the call to the Front Deskphone numberby using a Dial step. You can include any steps that work best for your business. When you're finished, click Save at the top of the page to save your Call Flow.
Block and Filter Phone Numbers
If you're receiving repetitive unwanted calls from the same number, that number can be blocked from calling in the future. Learn more about blocking and filtering calls using this help article.
Mark as Spam Button
Any unwanted call can be marked as spam. Using the Mark as Spam button for calls in the currentbilling cycles will remove the call from your call log, and also from your reports and billing. It will also "challenge" the caller in the future.
The next time they dial your tracking numbers, they will hear an automated message that says, "Please press 1 to connect to your call."
You can access the "Mark as Spam" button from the caller's timeline:
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
Navigate to your company's call log by clicking Activity.
Click the Timelinebutton for the caller you'd like to mark as spam.
Select theMark as Spam iconnext to the call in question.
Replacing a Tracking Number
If a specific tracking number is receiving an unusual number of unwanted calls, we're happy to replace it for you. Replacing the tracking number will release the number from your account, and we won't be able to recover it. You can reach out to our Support team to request a replacement tracking number at no additional cost.
FAQs
Can I import a list of telephone numbers for a "Do Not Call" (DNC) list?
We don't have a way to automatically block numbers you don't want your team to call since we don't provide any automatic dialing services. If there's a specific number you'd like to prevent your team from calling, we recommend adding a tag or note to that person's timeline to indicate that your team shouldn't call that person.
My customers see "Scam Likely" or "Spam" on their caller IDs when I call them. How can we fix this so they know I'm a legitimate caller?
We can register your tracking phone numbers with a national whitelist, which will help prevent T-Mobile and Metro PCS customers from seeing this on their caller ID when you call from a CallRail number. This national whitelist verifies that our customers are legitimate business owners, which T-Mobile and Metro PCS will recognize and pass your caller ID properly.To have your tracking number(s) added to this whitelist, with the following information:
Your name and email address
The tracking phone numbers you want whitelisted
The caller ID that should show to your customers
What you'll be using the numbers for(Telemarketing, Account Service, Customer Service, Survey/Research, Informational, Financial Service, Other).
We'll submit your information on your behalf and let you know once this is complete. Please allow us a couple of weeks to get this information processed, as this is a manual process we take care of on our end.

View ArticleCallRails JavaScript snippet allows you to use dynamic number insertion (DNI) to integrate call tracking with your website. Each tracking number you create can be assigned a source (like Google Ads, Bing Organic, Yelp, Facebook, etc.) and the correct tracking number will display when a user reaches your website via one of those sources.
The JavaScript snippet also powers CallRail's Form Tracking product. Whether you've built a form using our form builder or have an external form you'd like to track, the JavaScript snippet captures the contents of forms submitted on your website and displays your form data in a contact's timeline.
If you are using a WordPress website, please follow these instructions to install the WordPress plugin instead of using the JavaScript snippet. This will offer you the same functionality.
The same snippet powers both call and form tracking if you're using both products in CallRail, so you don't have to install the same script more than once. After your company's snippet has been added to each page of your website, it gathers all the details of your customer's interactions on your website and relays their activity back to CallRail.
Use these Wix instructions to learn how to add Google Tag Manager to your premium Wix site
How the JavaScript Snippet Works
Each company in your CallRail account has its own, unique JavaScript snippet. The installation is just like installing Google Analytics a single JavaScript snippet added to each page of your website before the </body> tag.This script tag works for both HTTP and HTTPS pages.
To use the dynamic number insertion feature, create tracking numbers within your CallRail account to track visitors from a specific source, like Google Ads. When a visitor navigates to your website through one of the sources youre tracking, CallRails JavaScript will detect the phone numbers on your web page and swap them with the correct tracking number. Well then store the visitors source in a cookie so theyll continue to see the same tracking number each time they return to your website (unless your snippet is removed).
Getting Started
There are a few important details youll need to know before you get started with dynamic number insertion:
Onceyou'veinstalled the JavaScript snippet on your website, be sure to test your installation before your campaign begins. Learn how to test your installation with this help article.
Dynamic number insertion detects multiple number formats, including: 111-222-3333, 111.222.3333, and (111) 222-3333.
Special steps are necessary to swap phone numbers in images. Learn more about image swapping with this help article.
Ideally, CallRails JavaScript snippet should be installed on every page of your website, but it must be embedded on the visitors landing page, as well as each page on your website that displays a phone number or a web form you'd like to track.
Installing the JavaScript snippet on Your Website
Each company in your account has its own unique JavaScript code for dynamic number insertion. If you have multiple companies in your CallRail account, youll have a different code for each.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
ClickSettings at the top of the page.
Choose the company whose JavaScript code youd like to install.
Select All Integrations from the Integrationssection in the left menu.
Choose JavaScript Snippetfrom the list of available integrations.
Copy the JavaScript provided. It should look similar to this sample JavaScript code.
Paste your script into each page of your website right before the </body> tag.

Otherwise, the swap code will detect you as a visitor to the website from a previous session.
Troubleshoot common dynamic number insertion issues with this help article.
How do I prevent a number from swapping on my website?
If there is a specific place on your website where you don't want a number to swap, you're able to update the telephone number in your source code so that our swap script doesn't recognize it. In the number that you do not want to be swapped, use HTML tags that don't apply anyadditional style.
For example: 555-<span>444<span>-3333.
When setting this up, we recommend placing "<span>" within the middle of the phone number (as illustrated above). With those additional HTML tags, our JavaScript snippet will not find/swap the number that you'd like to appear static.
Can I use dynamic number insertion in an iframe?
We do not recommend installing our dynamic number insertion script in an iframe since they run independently from the rest of awebsite. This could cause an inconsistent experience for website visitors, and they could potentially see two different tracking numbers on the same website. CallRail's swap script can still be installed on websites that use iframes, butany number within an iframe won't swap.
Can I use dynamic number insertion on my Squarespace site?
Yes. You can install CallRail's JavaScript snippet for dynamic number insertion on a Squarespace site using the Code Injection feature.
Can I use dynamic number insertion on my Wix site?
If you are on any of Wix's premium plans, you can install CallRail's JavaScript snippet in Google Tag Manager, and add Google Tag Manager to your Wix site. Use this article to learn how to add dynamic number insertion to Google Tag Manager.

Do I need to remove the JavaScript after I disable call tracking?
If youdon'tplan on creating new tracking numbers in the same company where your tracking number(s) has been disabled, you can safely remove the CallRail JavaScript code. However, if you leave the swap script on your website, the numbers will no longer swap since those numbers have been disabled.
Can I have a white-labeled version of my swap code?

If there is a specific place on your website where you don't want the number to swap, update the telephone number in your source code so that our swap script doesn't recognize it. In the number that you do not want to be swapped, you can use HTML tags that don't apply additional style.
For example: 555-<span>444<span>-3333.
When setting this up, we recommend placing "<span>" within the middle of the phone number (as illustrated above). With those additional HTML tags, our JavaScript file will not find/swap the number that you'd like to appear static.

Auto-Test Dynamic Number Insertion
Use this auto-test to confirm that the JavaScript snippet is correctly installed on a web page.This test has two parts. First, it validates that your snippet has been installed in the correct location before the </body> tag. Then, it checks that your tracking numbers are swapping on your site.
You must test each web page individually whereyou'veinstalled the code snippet. Testing a landing page, for example, will not test your entire site.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
Click Settings at the top of the page.
Choose the company whose snippet you are testing.
Select All Integrations from the Integrations section in the left menu.
Choose the JavaScript Snippet integration.
Scroll down to the section titled Test JavaScript Snippet, at the bottom of the page.
Copy and paste the web page URL that youd like to test and click Start Test.
If your JavaScript snippet is properly installed, youll see a green checkmark in the Code Snippet Status section.
If your JavaScript snippet is not found or not properly installed, youll see a yellow alert with instructions on how to fix your code installation and a date stamp of your last test. If the code snippet is not in the correct location, your numberscan'tswap so the second part of the test will not be performed.
In the Tracking Number Status section of the test, its important to note that were testing all the tracking numbers in your company. So, some numbers that show up as not found are not a problem. Only troubleshoot tracking numbers you expected to swap on the page you are testing.
Tracking numbers that are properly swapping on the page youre testing will show a green checkmark in the Status column.
Click the eyeball icon in the View column to see a live swap example of the tracking number swap on your page.
This screen will show a screen capture of the tracking number swap that happened with a date and time stamp of when the swap occurred.
There will be a yellow alert message in the Status column for numbers thataren'tswapping on the single web page youre testing. Remember, were testing all the tracking numbers in your company. This alertisn'ta problem for tracking numbers thatwon'tbe used on the specific web page youre testing.
If its a tracking number you expected to swap on the page, click the Troubleshoot link to view a help article on troubleshooting common errors that will prevent a number from swapping. Note: There are sometimes false negatives in this auto-test where your tracking number is actually swapping on your page. If you've checked all the troubleshoot items and still receive an error message, we recommend manually testing (next section) your web page to simulate a visit.
You can also select the Number Name to be sent directly to the edit page for that number so you can make any configuration changes needed.
Manually Test Dynamic Number Insertion
Use these test methods to manually test dynamic number insertion. Because CallRail's swap code creates a cookie that remembers your previous website visits, you might think that dynamic number insertionisn'tworking even when it is.
First, Clear Your Cookies. Before you test, clear your cookies. Each test must be performed as if you are a brand new visitor; otherwise, number swapping will not work as expected. If you prefer to test dynamic number insertion without clearing your cookies, you can do so by accessing the website in a private browsing window. Using a private browsing window (like Incognito mode in Google Chrome) lets you simulate yourself as a first-time visitor to the website. Please ensure no other private browsing windows are open when testing with this method.
Simulate an Organic visit. For the purpose of this example, well assume youre testing a Google Organic tracking number.
Clear your cookies, or open a fresh private web browser.
Navigate to the source website (ie. Google.com).
Search for your full URL on the search engine (ie.www.yoursite.com).
In the search results, click the link to your website.
Navigate to a page containing the phone number.
Confirm that the tracking number is displayed. If so, congratulations, it works!
Simulate a Google Ads click. For Google Ads, you can manually simulate a click without requiring you to click on an ad by appending "?gclid=test" to your URL. For example: https://www.yourwebsite.com/?gclid=test
Simulate a Bing Paid click. Testing Microsoft Advertising requires a few more steps. Using the Mozilla Firefox web browser:
Download the RefControl plugin --> RefControl
Go to Tools --> RefControl Options --> Add Site
Type in your site's address:www.yoursite.com
Select Custom and type in http://www.bing.com
Click "OK" then clear your cookies
Append ?msclkid=test&wc_clear=true to your website's URL to simulate a paid click (for example, yourwebsite.com/?msclkid=test&wc_clear=true)
Mimic mobile devices You can test dynamic number insertion for popular mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, Androids, etc using the Google Chrome browser's mobile emulation feature. Use the same techniques listed above for simulating visits when opening the source website usingmobile emulation. The following Chrome documentation details the steps to enable the mobile emulation feature: Google Chrome Mobile Emulation If youre having trouble, were happy to help.

When a visitor accesses a website where the JavaScript snippet has been installed, we place a cookie on their browser on their first visit and display a tracking number corresponding to that source every time we see that visitor in the future.
For example, if a visitor comes in via Google PPC one day, and then later comes via direct type-in, well continue to show the Google PPC number.
However, some marketers wish to have specific sources override a visitor's first visit for campaign attribution purposes.We call this a "source override" because it outranks the other referring sources.
For example, ifyou'veconfigured a source override, and a visitor comes from Google Organic one day and then Google PPC the next, well show the Google PPC tracking number on the second visit instead of the Google Organic number.
Getting Started

Local Swap allows you to add additional area codes to your keyword pool that swap to match a website visitors geographic location. For example, a visitor in Chicago would see a tracking number with a Chicago area code, while a visitor in Tampa sees a tracking number with a Tampa area code. Local Swap is a great option for businesses that service multiple locations and want their customers to feel confident choosing a business available in their area.
Getting Started
This feature is currently only available for US and Canada tracking numbers.
Local Swap is a feature used for keyword-level tracking pools and requires the JavaScript snippet in order to swap numbers.
Learn how to create a keyword tracking pool in this help article.
Each time you add Local Swap numbers, it increases the size of your keyword pool which will affect the total numbers on your invoice. You can add as few as two Local Swap numbers per area code to your pool.
Once Local Swap numbers are added to a pool, Local Swap will be locked and cannot be deactivated for the keyword pool. You can always add additional area codes or increase the size of a Local Swap pool.
If there are toll-free numbers in your keyword pool, any visitors who don't have an exact geographic match will see one of your toll-free numbers. We recommend using a toll-free number for Local Swap to ensure that a visitor never sees a number that is completely non-local to them (for example, a visitor in New York seeing a number from an Arizona area code).
Activate Local Swap
You can activate Local Swap for an existing keyword pool or after creating a new keyword pool using the edit number page. One keyword tracking pool is allowed per company. If youd like to add more than one keyword tracking pool per company, please contact our support team, as this is something well take care of on our end.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
ClickTrackingat the top of the page.
Choose the company whose keyword tracking pool you'd like to add Local Swap numbers.
Select the Pencil iconto keyword pool you'd like to update.
On the page that follows, click thePencil iconat the upper-right of theAdvanced Optionsmenu.
Locate theLocal Swap toggle and turn itON.
After turning Local Swap ON, youll automatically see the total number of your original keyword pool appear below (in this example, a pool of eight 888 toll-free numbers). You can always increase the size of your original keyword pool if needed. Read this help article to learn how to find this information in Google Analytics
At this point, Local Swap can still be deactivated. Itwon'tbe fully activated until you add area codes and save your changes at the bottom of the section.
Add Local Swap Numbers
Search for Local Swap numbers by area code and add them to your keyword pool. Your initial pool numbers will be automatically added to your new Local Swap number pool.
Click + Add Local Swap Numbers by Area Code.
Enter an area code youd like to add to your pool and select how many numbers youd like for that area code pool (minimum of two numbers).
Click + Add Local Swap Numbers by Area Code again to add another area code. Repeat this process as many times as needed to create the Local Swap pool youd like.
Whenyou'vecreated the Local Swap pool youd like, click Save at the bottom of the section.
At this point, your Local Swap activation for this pool will be locked and your area code pools will be added to your keyword pool.
If any of the area codes you selected are not available, you will see an error alert and Local Swap will not be locked. If youd like to deactivate Local Swap at this point, you can toggle OFF and Save. Otherwise, try another area code and click Save at the bottom of the page.
Edit Local Swap Numbers
After activating Local Swap, you can always edit your keyword pool to add additional area codes or increase the size of your existing pools.
To decrease the quantity of numbers in your pool, please reach out to our support team, as this is something we take care of on our end.
For more information on changing pool size, read this help article.
Deactivate Local Swap
To deactivate Local Swap, youll need to disable the keyword pool.
Click Analytics in the navigation bar on the left.
Click on the Trackingicon at the top of the page.
Choose the company whose keyword tracking pool you'd like to add Local Swap numbers.
Select the Edit icon for the keyword pool you'd like to update.
On the upper right corner of the page, select the button that reads "Disable [name of keyword pool]".
Select Permanently disable this keyword poolto allow CallRail to permanently delete the selected keyword pool. All the tracking numbers will be immediately disabled.
FAQs
How does Local Swap determine a visitor's geographic location?
Local Swap uses a visitors IP address to match their area code. If an IP address is not available for a visitor, Local Swap will use a number from your initial keyword pool or a toll-free number (recommended).
Will visitors see a different area code if they change locations?
After visitors are assigned an area code on their first visit, theyll continue to see the same area code for consistency even if they change locations.
How should I use toll-free numbers in Local Swap pools?
If youre using Local Swap to appear national, or available in large regions, we recommend using a toll-free number keyword pool for Local Swap. This will ensure that a visitor never sees a number that is completely non-local to them (for example, a visitor in New York seeing a number with an Arizona area code). If youre using Local Swap for smaller, nearby regions (like neighboring cities), you can either use a local keyword pool or a toll-free keyword pool, depending on your preference.
What if I don't use toll-free numbers?
If you choose not to add toll-free numbers to your pool, Local Swap will match the next closest area code to your visitor's IP address. If they've already been shown a Local Swap number, they will continue to see their first assigned number.
What about areas that have multiple area codes?
When you're in a layered area code location like Atlanta, and there are multiple codes in your Local Swap pool (ex. 404 and 678), Local Swap follows normal swap precedence rules by swapping in the least-recently-used number of those area codes. Read more about swap precedence in this help article.
Should I have multiple area codes in the same state?
If you're covering an entire state, you can have multiple area codes in your Local Swap pool for the same state to better target specific regions. Ideally, you'll also have a toll-free number in your Local Swap pool so if a caller doesn't have an exact area code match, they'll see a toll-free number instead. If a caller's area code doesn't match one of your area codes and you do NOT have toll-free numbers in your Local Swap pool, they'll be assigned the next closest area code to their IP address. Sometimes this can show callers an area code not local to them, which is why we recommend toll-free numbers.
How many Local Swap numbers should I add for each area code?
The number of Local Swap numbers youll want to add for each area code is completely customizable and depends on your specific business needs by location. You can add as few as two numbers per area code.
For keyword pools in general, you need one phone number per concurrent visitor (with a minimum of 4 numbers), or enough numbers to cover concurrent visitors during peak hourly traffic on your website. You can estimate how many simultaneous visitors you have by looking in Google Analytics. For Local Swap, youd ideally want to cover all concurrent visitors in each additional area code location (with a minimum of 2 numbers).

You can also use your Number AssignmentTable to see the numbers that make up your keyword tracking pool.
Getting Started
