Iovox Gives Multichannel Marketers the Data Needed to Optimize Spend

SAN FRANCISCO, LONDON, April 4, 2017 - Iovox, a global call analytics company, announced today the availability of a new solution that provides marketers with enhanced data analytics, enabling them to make more informed decisions when evaluating the performance of inbound marketing campaigns. Iovox's new Multichannel Marketing solution is specifically designed for companies using multiple marketing channels to drive inbound calls to their business.

"Despite the perception that interaction is all moving online, business phone calls continue to grow and marketers are waking up to the need to track what marketing spend is driving the all-important call," said Carl Di Cicco, Chief Commercial Officer for iovox. "Marketing focused call-tracking solutions exist in the market, but tests prove that the results are often wildly inaccurate and can deliver a poor customer experience. We believe bad data can cause more problems than no data when it comes to business-critical marketing decisions. The iovox platform allows multichannel marketers to track which media channels are driving calls with 100% accuracy."

Integrates With Existing Systems
Multichannel Marketing easily integrates with campaign tracking in Google AdWords. Further, iovox enables marketers to track website call conversions from ads, including calls made from extensions and call-only campaigns.

While campaign-level tracking is helpful, the iovox multichannel solution allows customers to go two steps further: iovox's solution provides call data all the way down to the keyword level to analyze and optimize ad spend, as well as identify which ad groups and keywords drive the most calls and offline conversions.

How It Works
Multichannel Marketing enables insight to referring channels via insertion of a Javascript code snippet on webpages where marketing campaign phone numbers appear. For paid search, social or email campaigns, each time an ad is clicked, the number displayed on the landing page is swapped for a unique number, representing the channel, campaign, ad group or keyword. For organic search, each time someone clicks a link from a referring site, iovox swaps the number to associate the call with its referring location.

Two recent iovox customer examples highlight typical challenges faced by marketers, and how Multichannel Marketing from iovox helps address them.

Challenge: Understanding which ads deliver the most value

• Background - Customer relies on inbound calls to drive growth using Google call-only campaigns, Click to Call ads, and geo targeted keywords.
• Problem - Call conversion rates are out of balance with spend, and customer is unsure which activities to pause to get ROI back on track.
• Solution - By using iovox's Multichannel Marketing solution, the customer can establish which campaigns deliver the most inbound calls, therefore making it simpler to decide which ad campaigns to put on hold to improve ROI.

Challenge: Gaining insight into paid vs organic performance

• Background - A customer with a well-known brand believes its identity is strong enough to drive sufficient organic traffic.
• Problem - As a result, the Marketing Manager is tasked to cut budget, with an expectation to maintain inbound leads.
