Source-level tracking allows you to use a unique tracking phone number for each marketing campaign you want to track. For instance, you might want to track calls from Google visitors, a yellow pages ad, and a direct mail campaign-- so you'd create three tracking numbers total, one tracking number for each source, and forward each number to your main business phone number.

FAQs
Can I integrate with Google Analytics?

Can I integrate with Google Ads?
You won't be able to see your call conversions in Google Ads with source-level tracking numbers.

When should I use dynamic number insertion?
CallRail's JavaScript code for dynamic number insertion is the key to displaying a number to your website visitors without changing the phone number in the HTML.
Do I need a different JavaScript code for every number?
No. We keep it simple by making the JavaScript code company-specific. Every number you create under one company within your account will use the same JavaScript snippet.
