  • Call duration
  • Caller’s phone number

  • Rate of call abandonment

Call tracking can also reveal detailed insights and reports on interaction to help you create customer journey maps that outline prospects’ engagement across your marketing.

Tailoring your marketing campaigns to prospects

Your customer journey maps created using the reports will show which marketing campaigns drive the most leads and move-ins for your care home.

For example, you might find that prospective residents and their families are engaging most with campaigns that display information about your care home’s staff – such as the number of staff, their qualifications, testimonials, etc.

As a result, you’ll know exactly what to include in future campaigns, and you can start devising content that is proven more successful at driving prospect engagement. This will significantly boost the number of leads and move-ins generated by each campaign, and your care home will benefit greatly from it.

Improve communication with prospects

Another important aspect of your care home marketing is how you communicate with your prospects. When using call tracking software, you’ll have all the tools and features to significantly improve this.

Speech analytics can be integrated into your call tracking software, ensuring that every prospect call is transcribed for later review. On top of this, you can also use the feature to pick up on any specific keywords mentioned in the conversation, which will be relevant to your care home’s engagement with prospects.

For instance, you can use the software to identify mentions of words like “price” or “move-in” to promptly identify your most valuable enquiries and those likely to convert to a move-in. Also, you can use the software to reveal things like the purpose of each call, how every prospect interacted with it, and whether they were satisfied at the end of the conversation.

All this information is key to understanding all the different areas of your communication that you can refine, giving you the highest chance of converting prospective residents to move-ins.

Summing Up

Marketers love the feedback that comes from campaign measurement and metrics. Call tracking software lets you see how many people are calling you and where they are coming from, i.e., PPC ads, content marketing, your website, or social media marketing. Rather than relying on people to accurately account for the content of each call-tracking software helps you understand who is contacting you and why. You can use this information to improve your marketing strategy and increase sales.
