Marchex White Paper Highlights the Importance of Call Tracking and Analytics in Helping Digital Marketers Maximize Search Marketing Efforts

SEATTLE – Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX) announced the publication of a new white paper, “The Re-Evolution of the Phone Call: Three Reasons Why Call Tracking Matters to Online Advertisers and Digital Agencies.

In an advertising landscape where the cost effectiveness of search marketing is being challenged by ever increasing bid prices, and phone calls are emerging as an efficient and potent method of performance-based advertising, this white paper focuses on the following three reasons why call tracking and analytics is such an essential component of a digital marketer’s toolkit:

1. Without call tracking and analytics, it is impossible to manage search bids accurately.

2. Call tracking and analytics transforms an advertiser’s efforts to boost conversion rates.

3. Call tracking and analytics is cost effective and easy to implement.

“Most advertisers and agencies are finding their budgets under greater scrutiny than ever, and regularly dedicate significant resources in an attempt to boost conversion rates even a point or two,” said Leigh McMillan, Senior Vice President of Marchex Call Analytics. “Increasingly, digital marketers are realizing that by adding call tracking and analytics into the mix they are able to capture offline results from online campaigns, helping them understand the full impact of their advertising programs, and ultimately improve their Return-on-Investment.”
