Getting started
When you use a CallRail tracking number in your Apple Business Connect listing, you can track all calls coming from your listing and have a full picture of a customer's journey across sources. In this article, you'll learn how to add a CallRail tracking number to your Apple Business Connect listing.
Creating or claiming an Apple Business Connect listing
If you haven't already, you'll need to create or claim your Apple Connect Business listing. If you've already done this, you can move on the next section.
You'll need to have the role of Administrator to create or claim an Apple Connect Business listing.
- Create or claim your Apple Business Connect listing. If you're not sure how to do this you can follow the instructions in Apple's support article.
Please note: if you have a business with more than 25 locations or you have multiple businesses with multiple locations, you'll need an enterprise account instead. - Enter your main business phone number in the initial location details. Once your location is verified, you can edit the listing to include your CallRail tracking number.
Create a tracking number
Follow the instructions below to create a tracking number for your Apple Business Connect listing.
- Click the Create (+) icon in the navigation bar on the left and select Phone Number.
- Choose the company where you'd like to add your new tracking number.
- The new number wizard will appear on your screen. The first question asks, "Where do you want to use this tracking number?" Select I’ll use it online.
- Select Somewhere else since this number will display in your listing and not your website.
- Select No, somewhere else.
- Set up your call routing by entering the number where we should route your calls. This is typically your primary business number. If you're using Lead Center, you'll see a second option for Lead Center's softphone. Then, click Number Setup to move to the next step.
- Name your tracking number for your reports and settings. We recommend naming the tracking number "Apple Business Connect" or something similar since that will show as the 'source' value for any calls to that number.
- Choose the call tracking number you'd like to purchase by picking from one of the three options for local and toll-free numbers. Once you've picked your number, click Number Features to move to the next step.
- Configure your whisper message and call recording. When you're finished, click Activate Tracking Number.
Adding your tracking number to your Apple Business Connect listing
Once your location is verified and your tracking number is active, you can edit your listing to include your new tracking number.
You'll need to have the role of Administrator to edit an Apple Business Connect listing.
