Google Analytics for Static Numbers

Google Analytics for Static Numbers

Overview

We are able to send events into Google Analytics Universal for calls to static/offline phone numbers. Google Analytics Classic is not supported.

Once properly configured, phone call goal completions are shown under a new channel Static Call Tracking. The source, medium, campaign and content tags associated with the static number are also pushed into Google Analytics. The landing page against the event is /static-call-tracking/PHONE NUMBER.
