Top four reasons for using pay per call
Return on Investment
Return on investment is huge on PPC because of the conversion rates associated to the click costs. This is because when you pay for a click to call you are paying the same price if not lower as you would for a click, but the conversion rate is much higher. The lower cost for a click means that when your competition are not using pay per call and converting at 5% you can be converting at 30%+ and crushing it.
Tracking
With calls you can record the thoughts and conversations that are going on in the Prospects mind. This allows you to know what are the keywords and pain points your customer is currently experiencing. You can use this data right along your conversion funnel from the media buying to headlines that you use to tap right into the intent that they have.
Lead Value
From rigorous testing we have seen that the value of a lead when coming from inbound call has a 2-3x higher lifetime value than an inbound lead that is collected from an email or lead gen form then that called outbound.
These monster-sized lead values come from acting on the lead when they are super hot, in the moment and ready to buy. When there is a delay (of sometimes days) between the lead being received and followed up on, it creates a time gap where the prospect can take action with the competition or become disinterested in the service that is being offered.
Complete Visibility
On a call you know you are getting what you pay for. The Turing test has not yet been beaten for telephone calls….yet, therefore lead fraud is almost zero when someone is calling in.
Mobile advertising is at the beginning of insane growth, which means it is prime time for you to add pay per call into your marketing arsenal. Your marketing can instantly jump to the next level from setting up a direct link from your ads to your agents.
