Mel:

One of the ones that kept coming up was learning about CTM, how to set

2

:

it up, what it looks like, how we should

be using it on questions, around CTMs.

3

:

Yeah.

4

:

So nine easy steps, to configure your CTM.

5

:

Hi everyone, it's Mel, senior

client manager here at Solutions 8.

6

:

I'm super excited about today.

7

:

I've been going through all of the

YouTube videos and reviewing comments

8

:

on all of them and getting video ideas

and one of the ones that coming up

9

:

was learning about CTM, how to set it

up, what it looks like, how we should

10

:

be using it on questions, around CTM.

11

:

So we thought we'd do an updated

video on how to set up CTM.

12

:

We have a new client, that we're

going to be doing that for.

13

:

I'm joined today, with Harsh,

who is the head of our CTM team.

14

:

and he's, he helps us set up CTM

and makes it super flawless and

15

:

make sure there's no problems.

16

:

Harsh is awesome.

17

:

So I'm really excited, for y'all to learn

how to set up CTM, what it's all about.

18

:

So Harsh, you can go ahead, take it away.

19

:

Thank you Melissa for

such a nice introduction.

20

:

So I'm sharing my screen to show

you all that how CTM setup is done.

21

:

So we'll start with a new account

that's called Treatment Center.

22

:

So this is the CTM interface

actually, and this is the account.

23

:

what we do generally, we have the CTM

under our agency and, for onboarding a new

24

:

account, we charge 25 for each account.

25

:

So we send the link.

26

:

So what client do generally is that

they pay 25 and we send the link,

27

:

they fill up the details and they

get onboarded under our agency.

28

:

first thing first, what we need

to do a CTM setup means what

29

:

parameters we need to have.

30

:

So basically, first, we need to

have Google Tag Manager for this.

31

:

the website, the number

and the CTM account.

32

:

we'll check the website.

33

:

what we have to search first, where is the

number, how many numbers there, there are.

34

:

here is a number is ends

with six, eight, seven, nine.

35

:

what we have to see, we have to look.

36

:

means every pages of the website that if

there are any other numbers are there.

37

:

So I'll go to the contact us page as well.

38

:

the same number is there.

39

:

Maybe there can be a

different number as well.

40

:

So we have to ask that if we

can track that number as well.

41

:

Because ideally you would want to track

Any phone number that's listed on the

42

:

website, we have to technically be

able to track because you don't know

43

:

what people are going to be calling.

44

:

You might miss out on a lead if

they call a number that you're

45

:

not tracking, it's correct.

46

:

if there are two, three numbers, then of

course, customer can call from any number.

47

:

So we need to track on the

CTM to move more traffic.

48

:

To involve more traffic.

49

:

here we can see that

there is only one number.

50

:

I have been to this website.

51

:

I've searched it all.

52

:

So there is only I'll go

to the future as well.

53

:

6879.

54

:

There's only one number.

55

:

So it's simple that we have to

track only one number, then what

56

:

we have to check is that if we have

got the CTM means the correct tag

57

:

manager means correct tag or not.

58

:

I have the tag legacy over here.

59

:

if it matches with the, Tag man,

means the container which we

60

:

got, we have to match with that.

61

:

Sometime it happens that, some

other tag manager, number is there.

62

:

And means CTM will not track that number.

63

:

Of course, the container

will be different.

64

:

So we have to check it,

cross check it first.

65

:

this answer is 8P26.

66

:

So now we have, I've already opened

the Google tag manager of this account.

67

:

So 8P26.

68

:

So it's correct.

69

:

what we have to do is

that we'll buy the number.

70

:

area code is there, toll tolley is there.

71

:

So sometimes customer asks for

the toll fee, or in the website

72

:

itself, there are toll fee numbers.

73

:

we can buy accordingly.

74

:

happened earlier also with some of

the websites that a client wants to

75

:

attract from the toll free number.

76

:

I think the one that you and I work on

together, I think they had a toll free

77

:

number, so we wanted to keep it the same.

78

:

so we wanted to use that one, you

have the option to use either, or just

79

:

depending on what the client wants.

80

:

the toll free, a little

bit more expensive.

81

:

Is that correct?

82

:

Yes.

83

:

Yes, ma'am.

84

:

It's absolutely good.

85

:

if you don't really care, then you can

just go with the Arial code, the cheaper

86

:

option, which I think is probably fine.

87

:

this is the first number

will be the area code 602.

88

:

So I have already on the area code

tab, so I'll type 602 over here.

89

:

it came as simple as that.

90

:

The company will be in Arizona only.

91

:

So I'll search with this number means

we'll buy the tracking number for it.

92

:

Why tracking number?

93

:

Because in the CTM we need to buy

tracking numbers so that the number

94

:

can dynamically change with the

website number if customer calls up

95

:

and it will be recorded in the CDM.

96

:

that's why we are buying

the tracking number for CDM.

97

:

think that's a really good point just

to for people who might not know it.

98

:

CTM who are interested in

obviously called tracking metrics.

99

:

so what this does is we buy a phone

number, which is harsher showing

100

:

right now, that will dynamically

change on the client's website

101

:

when they click from a Google ad.

102

:

so that enables us to

then track that call.

103

:

And if a purchase was made or an

appointment was made through that call,

104

:

we can attribute that back to Google ads.

105

:

I know a lot of, PPC managers out there,

people getting started, even clients

106

:

don't quite know how to, track their

calls, especially if they're a big,

107

:

business that does all of their, sales or

appointments or most of them, by phone.

108

:

This is really important for optimization.

109

:

thanks, Melissa, here we can

see only one number, so we

110

:

have to buy two numbers for it.

111

:

first thing is that.

112

:

on CTM, it's showing only one number.

113

:

we have to buy HIPAA means

I have to take over here.

114

:

So I numbers

115

:

So the question over here, if we I hover.

116

:

So this says that allow in transmitting

health care information over the phone.

117

:

So what it means that it basically

covers means it's a protection for,

118

:

if any patient has a confidential

report talking over the phone,

119

:

it will protect the patient.

120

:

those.

121

:

So we generally buy HIPP, HIPAA

number to protect that pulse.

122

:

I'll just click over here

and find more number.

123

:

And this would be true for any

kind of healthcare, like a doctor's

124

:

office, chiropractor, dentist, any

of those healthcare professionals.

125

:

yes, absolutely.

126

:

I'm getting only one number over here.

127

:

I'll just go to Google and search for

128

:

area codes

129

:

602480.

130

:

we can take 480 as well, since

CTM only showing that they have

131

:

the carrier of only one number.

132

:

the 480 area code is

primarily shown region.

133

:

from 480, we are finding n

numbers, means many numbers.

134

:

So we can, buy 480 number.

135

:

It's not a problem because,

we are in the same area.

136

:

So different area codes are there.

137

:

It's not a problem with us

since it's More than we can.

138

:

I'll buy these two numbers.

139

:

One for, why I'm buying these two

numbers is that one for the website

140

:

to track the website, this website,

and one for the ad extension.

141

:

buy two numbers right now.

142

:

So that's going to be best practice.

143

:

If they only have one phone number

that we need to track on the

144

:

website, it's one phone number there.

145

:

And then we always need to buy

a second one for ad extensions.

146

:

Yes.

147

:

Correct.

148

:

Great.

149

:

So I'll complete the order.

150

:

this basically the dollars which are

showing over here will be detected

151

:

from the 25 only, means the client

while onboarding they have paid the 25.

152

:

within that, only these, amount will be

deducted and continue to configuring.

153

:

while I'll put the description

to differentiate, which is the

154

:

Google ads number, tracking

source, or which is an extension.

155

:

So dial receiving number is basically

on which operator wants to receive the

156

:

call means want to answer the call.

157

:

It can be different.

158

:

sometimes, client says that

we want different receiving

159

:

number from the website number

so we can change in, routing.

160

:

receiving number will be the same.

161

:

I'll just copy this number

162

:

So I have to select the

tracking source from CTMs.

163

:

There are n number of options over there.

164

:

Since I'm tracking from the website,

I'll be tracking from the website.

165

:

So I've already put over here.

166

:

So I'll try.

167

:

This will be the first tracking

source and I'll type add extension.

168

:

I have to select the target number.

169

:

So no problem.

170

:

I'll just click over here.

171

:

New.

172

:

What I copied first, I'll

put the target number.

173

:

So target number, basically is

the website number only.

174

:

The number we are targeting

is called target number.

175

:

On math, it's fine.

176

:

So on this page, the assigned tracking

number, since we have bought two

177

:

tracking numbers and we are tracking

from the website number only for the

178

:

ad extension also, we'll track the

same, same website number because

179

:

at the end on the campaign level, we

have to put the tracking number only.

180

:

We don't have to put the website number.

181

:

The purchase tracking number will be there

in the campaign level for ad extension.

182

:

I'll see the changes.

183

:

I've selected it.

184

:

it's done over here.

185

:

Then I'll go to the numbers.

186

:

I'll go to the tracking numbers.

187

:

So I have to complete the

setup from here again.

188

:

what will happen?

189

:

I've copied the number.

190

:

Can I have to Google hands?

191

:

the dropdown number will come.

192

:

The configuration is done from here.

193

:

so we have to check everything.

194

:

We are recording inbound calls over

here, not recording outbound calls.

195

:

we have to save the changes.

196

:

After seeing everything,

everything is fine.

197

:

Then I'll go again to

the tracking numbers.

198

:

Here we can see the setup is done.

199

:

We have bought the numbers.

200

:

According to the area code,

according to the target number.

201

:

Now what I'll do, the first step is done.

202

:

I'll go to the tracking code because

we have to install the tracking code.

203

:

Tracking code only comes

when we'll buy the numbers.

204

:

So we have to put the

tracking code on the GTM.

205

:

it should match the GTM

container with the website.

206

:

Then only number will change.

207

:

So I'll copy this tracking

code and I'll go to the GTM.

208

:

I'll create a new tag

209

:

So I'll put the name

210

:

CTM script.

211

:

what option I'll choose

is the custom HTML.

212

:

So this is the HTML, which I've got.

213

:

I guess I just had a quick

question about why, custom HTML?

214

:

What were the other options, because,

Melissa it is in the HTML form.

215

:

So if we have to choose under these

options, custom HTML will choose because

216

:

this code is in the form of HTML tag only.

217

:

it's written HTML.

218

:

So we'll put the HTML.

219

:

Okay.

220

:

And it wouldn't go in Google ads

because we're not necessarily, it's not

221

:

Google, it's not tracking Google ads.

222

:

We're just tracking the

call tracking right now.

223

:

yes, We are tracking means

we are integrating the CTM

224

:

calls with the website.

225

:

So this GTM is a container for

the website as we know that.

226

:

everything should be here means what we

want to track or want to means any and

227

:

kind of things great with the website.

228

:

We have to put the tracking code which

is generated in the CTM with the website.

229

:

Then only the connection will happen.

230

:

Okay, understood.

231

:

this is done.

232

:

Then, triggering to all pages,

means all pages of the website.

233

:

wherever customer lands up, whether

he lands up on here or contact us or

234

:

patients, if anywhere is a number,

the number he will call and the number

235

:

will dynamically change and it'll end

up the CTM and call will be recorded.

236

:

that's fine.

237

:

All pages.

238

:

So I'll save it.

239

:

What I'll do right now,

I'll do the preview.

240

:

With that, it has done correctly or not.

241

:

So I'll go to the website.

242

:

I'll copy the website link.

243

:

I'll just connect it with the website.

244

:

Now it's landed up to the.

245

:

I'll just put it continue.

246

:

So see tag has fired.

247

:

That means it has been

assembled correctly.

248

:

If that means I wouldn't have fired,

then I think there would be a problem.

249

:

Then we have to look

after what is the problem.

250

:

But right now we are good.

251

:

So what I'll do right now, since I

have already created the tag, I'll

252

:

submit it without submitting things.

253

:

I'll publish it.

254

:

Any questions, Melissa?

255

:

you went through all the steps,

I think it was pretty clear.

256

:

So I think we're good.

257

:

Thank you so much.

258

:

Second step is completed.

259

:

We are going to do the third step.

260

:

I'm going to the calls right now.

261

:

Then I'll check again

the tracking numbers.

262

:

It's active right now.

263

:

now the CTM is connected it

with the website through JDM.

264

:

we have to configure it internally.

265

:

the calls and the conversion action,

let's say call will come, how it will

266

:

integrate to the Google ads account.

267

:

So I have to go to the Google

ads account, this entertainment

268

:

center, I have the access.

269

:

I will create the conversion

action for Google ads source

270

:

for the website, basically.

271

:

And for the ad extension.

272

:

So these are options.

273

:

So what we do generally, basically

the calls which are coming on,

274

:

we are importing it earlier.

275

:

because there was no

integrating thing on the CTM.

276

:

So we did it manually.

277

:

So now there is automation and we know

how to do the automation in the CTM.

278

:

So the call deletes will or

means automatically import.

279

:

So I'll choose this one.

280

:

So here are many options.

281

:

other data sources or CRMs means

we are taking the other data

282

:

source means CTM is the CRM.

283

:

So it's the other data source.

284

:

I just have a quick question.

285

:

So the different.

286

:

track calls from your ads or website.

287

:

So that conversion action and the import

is that the track calls from your ads

288

:

or website will just give you a number.

289

:

You received one call and that's

all the information that you get

290

:

and they clicked kind of thing.

291

:

But then if we import the

data, we actually get the

292

:

tracked call from that number.

293

:

We have the recorded voice recording.

294

:

We know if they made a purchase, we'll

know if they booked an appointment,

295

:

how much that purchase was because

that'll all be tracked in that.

296

:

Recorded call, and we can import

that data back into Google ads.

297

:

Is that correct?

298

:

Absolutely correct, Melissa.

299

:

Absolutely.

300

:

For this only, we are

creating a conversion action.

301

:

every data means every lead

means we read it manually.

302

:

Of course, we listen to the calls.

303

:

So if the sales is going on, if the sales

will happen, then it will be recorded

304

:

in this We are creating it right now.

305

:

And then the calls from your website.

306

:

just does not have any of that

information, obviously, because we can't,

307

:

there's no way that other conversion

action is what I'm talking about.

308

:

there was a call that happened.

309

:

Don't know the details.

310

:

call that happened, we

will get in the CDM.

311

:

Okay.

312

:

means the visitor data and everything will

come in the CDM and what we are doing.

313

:

If you read the five star, let's

say if there is a good quality

314

:

call, we have rated the five star.

315

:

we have the parameters.

316

:

I'll show you later on.

317

:

let's say if I'll give a five star,

if it's a good lead, that conversion

318

:

will be recorded according to the date

means on which date the call has come.

319

:

That very day, will show over here

in the conversion action, which

320

:

operating right now means every

conversion or sales is going on.

321

:

It will be caught in the Google ads

account in these conversion action only.

322

:

Perfect.

323

:

for website.

324

:

We will name as an online call

tracking and we'll select this

325

:

track conversion from clicks.

326

:

So over here also, you can see

that track select track conversion

327

:

to import conversion that

proceeded with the click on ID.

328

:

So we have to understand that

on CTM on which parameter, leads

329

:

gets recorded in the Google ads.

330

:

So it recorded in the

form of Google click ID.

331

:

So we have to select this from clicks.

332

:

if some customer.

333

:

Calls up it recorded in the

form of clicks means jekylls.

334

:

So that click only will be

recorded in the Google ads.

335

:

So we'll select this.

336

:

for website.

337

:

in the drop down, I'll choose option

other and I will put the, for this is

338

:

a website, basically Google ad source.

339

:

So I'll put online call tracking

340

:

CTM.

341

:

To avoid any confusion, I

just put the CTM over here.

342

:

we have to choose this, use

different values of each conversion

343

:

because we don't know what will

be the value of the conversion is.

344

:

Means if any sales goes on, they

will choose a different value

345

:

according to the CTM recorded.

346

:

That value will be chosen.

347

:

So we will choose this option.

348

:

So we'll choose count every

since we are rating it manually.

349

:

So if the same customer is calling up

again and again, we do the follow up.

350

:

We don't give the five

star again as a lead.

351

:

So we'll choose it.

352

:

Count every.

353

:

Data driven.

354

:

It's simple as that.

355

:

it's recommended.

356

:

so yeah, this conversion action

for the website has created.

357

:

Any question, Melissa.

358

:

No, I think that's pretty straightforward.

359

:

So if we want to go through

the steps again, so the first

360

:

step is configure it in CTM.

361

:

The second step is then to configure

it with tag manager, which will

362

:

be configuration on the website.

363

:

And then the third is to set it up inside

of Google ads, which you've just shown.

364

:

So I think it's all like

very straightforward.

365

:

if you follow the direction,

Harsha gave great directions.

366

:

I'm sure If viewers follow along,

it'd be easy enough to set up.

367

:

Again, for the website is completed.

368

:

Now I'll do for the ad extension.

369

:

The same thing I have to do.

370

:

is to import and manual

input using API uploads.

371

:

What I'll do right now, since CTM is using

third party API for the ad extension.

372

:

we will track the conversion from calls

only because we are putting tracking

373

:

number directly on the campaign level.

374

:

So it will not change dynamically.

375

:

we have to select Tracking

conversion for calls.

376

:

this will be the, I'll name it

call only call tracking CTM again,

377

:

CTM.

378

:

Then again, the same thing,

use different values.

379

:

Every data driven recommended.

380

:

two conversions.

381

:

See called from ads.

382

:

It's from ad extension, import

website, import from clicks.

383

:

So yes, it will remain inactive for now.

384

:

this is, CTM is using third party API.

385

:

So when let's say from the ad extension

call will come and if it's a lead

386

:

and if it's not a visitor data is

there, okay, call is coming from ad

387

:

extension, but visitor data is not there.

388

:

so let's say this is our extension.

389

:

call tracking conversion

action is for that only.

390

:

So let's say there will be a blank.

391

:

No session data will be there.

392

:

So what will happen?

393

:

And if it's a lead, since it's an existing

customer, so we didn't give the five star.

394

:

So if it's a lead, let's say five

star, we has given it as a lead.

395

:

And if it's blank.

396

:

Then only conversion will reflect in

the call only call tracking and it will

397

:

pull the data and it will become active.

398

:

So we don't have need to bother

because many of the client, Melissa,

399

:

someone, many of the specialists also

used to why it's still an inactive.

400

:

So I used to show them up.

401

:

Yeah, this is yes.

402

:

Call has come from our extension,

but session data is there.

403

:

So if the session data is there

and if it's a lead, then it will

404

:

reflect in online call tracking only.

405

:

Got it.

406

:

Melissa.

407

:

Yes.

408

:

so much.

409

:

this is a conversion action.

410

:

We have created what these 2.

411

:

now we have.

412

:

To do a fourth step is that we have to

integrate the CTM with the Google Ads now.

413

:

What we have done earlier is that we

have integrated the CTM with the website.

414

:

Now we will integrate with the Google Ads.

415

:

for automation, we have created certain

trigger according to our parameters.

416

:

Since we give five star, as you can

see here, and we give CS value as well.

417

:

With the five star.

418

:

So in every account, there is a

trigger that pulls these leads

419

:

to the Google ads accounts.

420

:

For that only we will create a trigger.

421

:

this is the trigger.

422

:

Basically, we did five

star colleague conversions.

423

:

So I've been in it.

424

:

So there are different presets are there.

425

:

So if you were setting this up for

the first time though, Harsh, once

426

:

you're done copying it, just walking us

through what it looks like, if you were

427

:

setting this up for the very first time.

428

:

Sure miss, I'll just walk you through.

429

:

So I'll walk you through over here.

430

:

What is trigger?

431

:

Basically trigger is simple.

432

:

The term is simple that how it works.

433

:

Trigger means if some lead has come.

434

:

click ID, those click ID in the

form of click ID, the calls in the

435

:

form of click ID will trigger that

click ID to our Google Ads account.

436

:

This is how trigger works.

437

:

So what we do generally, we

create the trigger over here.

438

:

we can do a number.

439

:

So let's say if you, if any of the

client, other client want to rate

440

:

four star as a lead, so they can

rename it four star call conversion.

441

:

we have the different drop downs

when call ends immediately.

442

:

At the end of the call, one

hour after call is captured.

443

:

So what we do means we found is the

best is that whenever sale data is

444

:

updated for any activity in the sense

for any call in the activity, if any

445

:

sale data happens, that trigger will

pull as a conversion in the Google ads.

446

:

once that once you update it to

be five star, that's the trigger.

447

:

Essentially, that's the sales data.

448

:

or correct me if I'm wrong here.

449

:

So once it's rated and the information

is inputted, that's the trigger.

450

:

the trigger than to,

connect back to Google ads?

451

:

Yes, Melissa.

452

:

Correct.

453

:

sale data in the form of five star.

454

:

Also, it can be in the form of, let's

say, 5, 000, 4, 000 that all sale

455

:

data will be updated, in an activity

and it will pull that trigger.

456

:

it could be whatever company or the

person wants that trigger to be.

457

:

So you could say it as the five star.

458

:

You could set it as when there's a

dollar amount inputted, you could do it

459

:

as if it's a three star call or a four

star call, that could be your trigger.

460

:

Yes, absolutely.

461

:

if I scroll down, there

will be different condition.

462

:

We have to put different condition

accordingly, which we want

463

:

to take it as, for the cause.

464

:

So this is trigger we have selected.

465

:

trigger for our activities.

466

:

So I'll just on it over here.

467

:

So this is the workflow basically.

468

:

this trigger has been set.

469

:

Now we will create a workflow

inside this, trigger, page

470

:

means or interface, you can say.

471

:

So this is a workflow we have created.

472

:

So we can add workflow

means any kind of workflow.

473

:

Let's say, for example,

If you want to, just.

474

:

Tracker record according to the tracker

call on Google ads in terms of date only.

475

:

Let's say talk time equals to 60 seconds.

476

:

So earlier it used to happen that

many of the agencies, right now

477

:

also, I think Melissa, they're

using that equals to 60 seconds.

478

:

Then it will come as a lead.

479

:

But that's not true to be honest,

because, it can be a fake conversion.

480

:

It would mean that any call, it could be

a garbage call and it could be 60 seconds.

481

:

It could be spam.

482

:

which is not truthful.

483

:

So that's why I guess we, what makes

us different for solutions eight is

484

:

that we have harsh and his team that

go through and listen and rate the

485

:

calls, not just like anything over 60

seconds as a lead, it's, we actually

486

:

listened to the quality of the call.

487

:

That's a good tidbit.

488

:

Yeah.

489

:

Also Melissa, I just want to

discuss that I have tried AI also.

490

:

So for AI, what we have noticed that 50

50 percent ratio is there for a lead.

491

:

What we rate means we listen it.

492

:

Of course, it's a tedious

job, but it's fruitful.

493

:

Why?

494

:

And it's essential as well.

495

:

AI sometimes gives bad remark means bad.

496

:

If it's a lead, they will

term it as it's not lead and

497

:

will not convert it as a lead.

498

:

So we have tried and tested that also,

but it comes out of 50 50 kind of thing.

499

:

So we are still doing it manually.

500

:

yes, So I've shown that we

can add different condition

501

:

for our, for under our agency.

502

:

What we do is that we just score as

a five star means let's say if there

503

:

is a good lead, if the customer is

asking about the product, if they're

504

:

purchasing the product, if, means

relevant calls, if they are asking for,

505

:

any kind of thing, which is relevant.

506

:

To the client, which is living to

the product, which is living to the

507

:

website, or if any sales is happening,

then we will rate as a five star.

508

:

So over here, we have put the condition.

509

:

If the score equals five star, if we'll

put the five star over there in the car

510

:

and it will, match with this five star,

because you're putting the condition.

511

:

Now the tracking source, what we

have bought is the tracking source

512

:

is that Google ads and ad extension.

513

:

It will come over here by default

because we have already bought it.

514

:

So add extension.

515

:

So we don't have to

add any rule over here.

516

:

let's say if it's a lead gen account, if

they want to, let's say no purchase is

517

:

happening, they want to track only leads.

518

:

So we don't need to put

this conversion amount.

519

:

we will only read like booked appointment

Anything means they are only booking

520

:

appointment or something This is also

region but what happens is that in this

521

:

account is that let's say any patient

calls up and you know calling up and

522

:

they are paying online on the call itself

let's say 250 dollars for appointment

523

:

and they are taking the card details

and everything so in this case if it's

524

:

a region it's okay but we will put the

sales condition for the sales value

525

:

so that the value also get reflected.

526

:

Got it.

527

:

And I think that's really important

for, even if the, business is not,

528

:

appointments based, like somebody

calls and books an appointment.

529

:

If they're, for instance, I have a client

that, sells very large value products,

530

:

and more people, go towards, Setting up an

account and then purchasing over the phone

531

:

and talking to somebody about that product

because they need more information.

532

:

It's a large purchase You don't want to

just make it on the internet So they'll

533

:

call and they'll talk to somebody and

then they'll make that purchase over

534

:

the phone So I think that's important

for that case scenario and just to give

535

:

everybody the differentiation between

the two types of businesses like booking

536

:

a call lead gen But then there's also

leads gen where they might purchase

537

:

over the phone That's great, Melissa.

538

:

Yeah, well explained.

539

:

we have, this five star, for any

call bit didn't go on purchase, but

540

:

if it's a lead, so that will rate

as a five star, or we have put the

541

:

condition or conversion amount is set.

542

:

If there is conversion amount

set in the call, that will also

543

:

reflect in that conversion action.

544

:

So we have put the rules

accordingly, how we want to do it.

545

:

convert as a conversion in the Google ads.

546

:

So our conversion I want to say

right now I'll go down Then perform

547

:

following actions since we have the

rules over here for the conversion

548

:

amount, so what we have to do, we

have to put the value also over here.

549

:

these are the activities,

these are the scores, how we

550

:

want to be scored, enhanced.

551

:

If I'll click over

here, conversion amount.

552

:

So if there is a value on a particular

call, it will take the sales value.

553

:

this part for the timing is done.

554

:

Now the conversion time, So it's

a event time and activity time.

555

:

So over here it's clearly shown that

use the activity time start time.

556

:

Let's say what we do is

there's a time difference.

557

:

So let's say we are rating it later

means after five years or six, five hours

558

:

or six hours, but when the call will

come, let's say call has come right

559

:

now and we are rating it after one day.

560

:

So after one day, if I am taking the

activity time over here, then that

561

:

particular call will be, shown as a

conversion on that particular day, not

562

:

the next day on which day we have rated.

563

:

So we generally put activity time

That's just a really important side

564

:

of note for, if you're setting this

up for a client, because you want

565

:

to know the different, they could be

looking in their back end and say,

566

:

actually, that sale went through on this

date, whereas CTM says the next date.

567

:

So it's really important that it's set to

that activity time and not the event time.

568

:

yes, absolutely correct.

569

:

So now this is safe for a while since

online conversion will not show over here.

570

:

What I have to do, I

have to do go further.

571

:

I have to go to the settings.

572

:

I have to integrate it.

573

:

So how I will integrate

with the Google ads account.

574

:

So now I have created the trigger.

575

:

Okay.

576

:

For automation.

577

:

Now I'll go to the integration.

578

:

Then over here, there are n

number means we have to connect

579

:

for analytics So first we have to

integrate with the Google ads account.

580

:

So I'll go direct connect

settings So these many calls

581

:

we have already integrated.

582

:

Now I'll integrate this

particular account.

583

:

these are the drop down means we have

many MCCI, we have n number of accounts.

584

:

So we have already connected

with different MCCI 1, MCCI 2, So

585

:

what we have to see where it is.

586

:

It is an MCCI 5.

587

:

I will search in the

drop down where is MCCI 5

588

:

Yes.

589

:

I'll go down link one Google

Ads account because we have to

590

:

link up that particular account.

591

:

since that Google Ad account is

under our agency, this CTM, means,

592

:

all clients account under our

agency, it will come over here.

593

:

the drop down.

594

:

I think it should come.

595

:

I'll type again over here.

596

:

Google Ads account.

597

:

I have to save the changes.

598

:

select here.

599

:

I'll go down again.

600

:

Lead conversion action.

601

:

means that conversion action will

reflect over here in the drop down.

602

:

over there.

603

:

We have created for the

website over it came over here.

604

:

Now i'll go down sales action then

again online call tracking means Let's

605

:

say it's a lead conversion action.

606

:

Online call tracking five star will be

reflected if something sales happens So

607

:

that sale will happen in the online call

tracking means the conversion value will

608

:

be reflected in the online call tracking.

609

:

So these are the two parameters.

610

:

Again, I'll go to the dropdown

legacies tracking setup.

611

:

So phone number conversion action.

612

:

Now phone number conversion

action will call only call

613

:

tracking for the ad extension.

614

:

Now the end part is that

conversion trigger, the trigger,

615

:

which we have created now.

616

:

that five star call can

get conversion will come.

617

:

So we have created a trigger.

618

:

It will come.

619

:

So we will save the changes.

620

:

if they weren't an MCCI, if they were

just an individual, that initial step,

621

:

where you're select we go back there.

622

:

I have to click here.

623

:

Let's say, they have the different Google.

624

:

Let's say MCCI 6 is there.

625

:

I don't have the access for it.

626

:

want to connect it with CTM.

627

:

So I just click over here, Google

user, then it will be forward

628

:

that particular user account

629

:

I will put the ID and password.

630

:

It will be connected with that.

631

:

And it will be shown over here.

632

:

And that should be the account that

your Google Ads is set up through.

633

:

yes, absolutely.

634

:

It means any account, let's say

MCCI 6 or MCCI 7, which is not

635

:

connected with the CTEM, we can

connect it, it's not a problem.

636

:

So if you're an individual, you have a

Google Ads account, or even if you're

637

:

a freelancer and you have a client.

638

:

Google ads account.

639

:

You would add in your email that the

Google ads account is created through,

640

:

or you would add your client's email

that the Google ads, is created through.

641

:

And obviously you would have to get their

permission to log in and all of that.

642

:

but it just has to be that email that

the Google ads account is connected to.

643

:

Yes.

644

:

Yes, absolutely.

645

:

Just, I need to have that permission.

646

:

The mail ad means login credentials.

647

:

Then we can connect means any individual

can do that with different account.

648

:

Does that make sense?

649

:

since we have integrated with the

Google ads drop down, we'll come

650

:

with simple culinary tracking.

651

:

We have already put this parameter,

sales value of sale will happen.

652

:

Any sales will happen, it will

reflect in the conversion action.

653

:

these are the two conversion

actions basically.

654

:

Now I'll save the changes over here.

655

:

it's completed.

656

:

One more thing, we have to connect

CTEM with the analytics because we

657

:

have analytics account as well.

658

:

So from CTEM itself, we will connect it.

659

:

So I'll go to the integration.

660

:

So again, it's an 5.

661

:

you don't have, any other

Gmail, you can look over here.

662

:

we have shown for the Google ads.

663

:

I'll search for new data stream

since G4 already introduced.

664

:

So automatically match, send events

when no G4 session data is available.

665

:

So they can send the events.

666

:

So I'll search for the G4.

667

:

I'll search again.

668

:

Yeah, it came up seven, nine,

four and G property drop down.

669

:

And that property will come as well.

670

:

And the website link default

back to redistricting.

671

:

So I'll save the changes over here.

672

:

Now I'll go to the drop down again,

since we have to search over here

673

:

again, because we have to assign that

particular amount, weight treatment

674

:

center, pain treatment center.

675

:

So I have assigned, I've

saved the changes over here.

676

:

Now it's connected to

the analytics as well.

677

:

the CTM data will be reflected

in the Google Analytics as well.

678

:

So this is done, and again, what I'll

do is that I will do the cross check

679

:

since we have already done with the GTM.

680

:

I'll show how to check that number is.

681

:

Dynamically changing was swiping or not.

682

:

we have to go to the website to

check the number whether it's

683

:

dynamically changing or not.

684

:

So I'm in the website.

685

:

I've just to copy this web link.

686

:

Then I go to the incognito mode.

687

:

I just paste it over.

688

:

This will be question mark

after slash question mark.

689

:

Check lead to test and see the changing

with our purchase tracking number.

690

:

6243.

691

:

Yeah.

692

:

That's good.

693

:

Great.

694

:

also Harshi wanted to talk about,

the tracking code on the website.

695

:

Melissa.

696

:

So it is very important to put the

tracking code on the website, because

697

:

sometimes you can jump, means that's a

customer, calls from on this website.

698

:

LinkedIn, it jumps to the other page.

699

:

Then we can miss the jigs.

700

:

Although the tracking code is

on the GTM, but it has to be

701

:

placed on the website as well.

702

:

Our client has placed already.

703

:

I'll show you where it will be shown.

704

:

I'll just click it, view

web source, control F.

705

:

I'll just type CTM.

706

:

So here is our tracking code basically.

707

:

And where you can find

the tracking code is here.

708

:

And this is just to be pasted, in, for

every page on the website, correct?

709

:

Yes, it should be in in between

the heads, not in the body section.

710

:

In the header section.

711

:

Okay, that's good to know.

712

:

So in the header section of

every page on the website.

713

:

And sorry, can you just show us

one more time, Harsh, where you

714

:

found the script in the, in CTM?

715

:

yeah.

716

:

I'll show it again.

717

:

So this is the account.

718

:

I'll go to the numbers.

719

:

Then I'll go here are the dynamic numbers.

720

:

Here's the tracking code over here.

721

:

I have to click there.

722

:

Then this is the tracking code script

and it's written over your copy and

723

:

paste the tracking code between the

heads of each page of your website.

724

:

Perfect.

725

:

This is done and this number is changing.

726

:

So no issues with the CTM.

727

:

Everything is integrated now.

728

:

Now, the last thing is that we

have to put the right time zone

729

:

because every website and every

client has a different time zone.

730

:

So call should come on

that very time zone.

731

:

So I'll go to the account

settings over here.

732

:

I'll click here and I'll

go to the account settings.

733

:

I'll scroll it down.

734

:

I've already put the timing.

735

:

The different time zone can come

means according to the website

736

:

or we can ask from the client.

737

:

It's in Delphi also so and

I have to put the number.

738

:

This is the health care.

739

:

I've already put to click

over update account.

740

:

So it will be updated.

741

:

That's all.

742

:

That's all from the CTM side.

743

:

It's been set up.

744

:

Oh, easy peasy.

745

:

You make it look so easy.

746

:

Harsh . Thank you.

747

:

Thank you, Melissa.

748

:

Alright, I will share a.

749

:

not really a checklist, but just a step by

step so step one was to configure the CTM.

750

:

So buying your numbers.

751

:

Step two was to place

tracking code on GTM.

752

:

step three, create your

conversion Action in Google Ads.

753

:

This should be in, not on in, step four is

to create the automation trigger in CTM.

754

:

Step five is to integrate

CTM with Google Ads.

755

:

Step six, connect CTM with your GA four.

756

:

step seven, place the

tracking code on the website.

757

:

Step eight, ensure the time zone

is correct and then step nine, test

758

:

your number to make sure that it

dynamically changes on the website.

759

:

So nine easy steps to configure your CTM.

760

:

And also, Harsh, I was thinking if people

are having a hard time setting up CTM,

761

:

I know that you had mentioned to me that

the knowledge base is pretty helpful.

762

:

So CTM has a pretty robust knowledge

base that people can utilize.

763

:

Yeah, knowledge base is

like means everything.

764

:

It's a bible of a CTM basically.

765

:

So if you're gonna search anything

means I sometimes, don't, see

766

:

seek support from the CTM support.

767

:

So I used to go and search

his first on knowledge base.

768

:

So everything is there in knowledge base.

769

:

anyone can search it and it's pretty easy.

770

:

Just write the, tagline

like tracking number, target

771

:

number or analytics, anything.

772

:

So even email campaign, how to set up it.

773

:

So it's pretty easy.

774
