      To access the widget configuration, select the pool from the Call Tracking list and click the “Tracking Pool Widget” button in the “Actions” column.

      Each widget can be used only for a specific website and Google Analytics ID.


      To start the configuration, fill in the following fields in the “Main Settings” block:

      • Allowed Domains: List the domains that will contain the widget. You can fill in domains separated by a comma or one per line. (Example: yourdomain.com)
      • Widget for Public Feed: Check the box to make the widget public.

      To install the widget for your website, use the script provided in the “Installation Information” block of settings:

      • UUID: The unique identification number. To copy, click the “Copy UUID” button.

      • Widget Code: To acquire the widget code for your website, select the preferred mode according to your needs:

        • Placeholder Mode: Insert the placeholder on your website and add the provided code at the end of the website page. To copy the script, click the “Copy Code” button.

        • Element Mode: Insert the provided element on your website and add the provided code at the end of the website page. This way the “Call” button can be customized through the CSS. To copy the script code, click the “Copy Code” button.


      To customize the way the widget is displayed on your website, use the “Widget customization” tools. You have to customize the “Desktop view” and “Mobile view” tabs separately. Both of the tabs have the same set of settings:

      • View Type: Select the preferable view type of the widget.

        • Plain Text: The option replaces the placeholder with the phone number.

        • “Call now” Button: The option replaces the placeholder with the button - you get the phone number by clicking it.

      • Name of button: Fill in the name of the “Call now” button.

      To confirm all of the modifications, click the “Save” button.

      Below the widget page, you may see a preview of the widget.


      The accuracy of analytics using the Call Tracking feature depends on the number of reserved phone numbers for the tracking pool. If the number of your website visits increases, it is suggested to reserve more phone numbers. To define the right proportion, use the following formulas according to the selected widget view type:

      • Plain Text: Accumulate the average number of website visits according to the formula:

        (The number of visits for the last 72 hours) / 3 / 100

        Example:

        For the last 72 hours, you had 4900 visits. As a result, it is suggested to have 17 reserved phone numbers in the tracking pool. Non-integer numbers should be rounded up.

        4900 / 3 / 100 = 16.3

        If you are using third-party website analytics, it is suggested to monitor the number of visits by hours. The maximum number of visits per hour is the required number of reserved phone numbers for the tracking pool.

        Example:

        Usually, there are about 20 visits per hour to your website. Around 12 am, there's a peak number of visits, which is 28. This means you have to assign 28 phone numbers for the tracking pool.

      • “Call now” button: It is suggested to monitor the number of calls by hours. The maximum number of calls per hour is the required number of reserved phone numbers for the tracking pool.

        Example:
        Usually, there are about 10 calls per hour received from your website. But around 12 am, there’s a peak number of calls, which is 17. This means you have to assign 17 phone numbers for the tracking pool.
