SEATTLE – Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHX), a leader in mobile performance advertising, announced a partnership with Ziplocal, an advertising platform that drives leads to local businesses. Marchex will provide Ziplocal with Call Analytics insights to increase its advertisers’ Pay For Call campaign performance.
“We’re excited to drive performance for Ziplocal, which reaches communities across the U.S. through mobile, online and traditional print media”
Through Marchex Call Analytics, Ziplocal’s advertisers will get customized call measurement reporting, which aggregates phone call data based on purchase intent and time spent on the line, among other metrics. This reporting sheds light on which campaigns drive quality phone calls – crucial information that helps boosts return on advertising spend.
“Marchex Call Analytics is tremendous technology,” said Jessica MacLean, Senior Manager of Customer Relations at Ziplocal. “Several of our employees used to work nights and weekends scoring and qualifying calls in order to track ad campaign performance. Now we can see qualified calls right away. That’s a huge cost savings for us. And our advertisers get more mileage out of their marketing dollars. Everyone comes out ahead.”
Along with streamlining Ziplocal’s internal business operations, the new user interface for Marchex Call Analytics is “easy to navigate, with clean, clear details,” MacLean added. “Our advertisers also find the graphs, which point out peak hours for phone calls, extremely useful.”
“We’re excited to drive performance for Ziplocal, which reaches communities across the U.S. through mobile, online and traditional print media,” said Harmen Westra, Vice President of Sales for Marchex Call Analytics. “Marchex and Ziplocal both understand the importance of phone calls as a key customer touch point.”
