Does Anyone Know How to Do This?
Share on:

What I would like to know, is how can you track a 'click-to-call' button on a mobile site in GA?
eg: <a href="tel:111-111-1111">

Those stats would be a great help.
I have yet to find a way to do that.
Any tips or suggestions?

To update the cilck to call link follow below:

<a href="tel:866-570-1785" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','Click-to-Call','Nav','866-570-1785']);">866-570-1785</a>


<a href="tel:866-570-1785" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','Click=to-Call','Footer','866-570-1785']);">866-570-1785</a>

Now GA will track click to call events.

Now GA will track click to call events.
That's all? Just add that code to all of my pages? Does it matter that the click to call button is a .jpg?

Do I have to create an Event in GA?

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike

I like the google analytics idea.

The way I track my calls is by buying a local number with twilio. Cost 1$/month. Then twilio gives me stats on how many calls I get. The number is not published so I don't get dialed calls. I use an image call button.

This way does not require extra coding. Plus there's a way to track calls with twimblin.

PM me and I'll explain more.
