Nailing customer journey analytics and unlocking full-funnel attribution doesn't have to be a pipedream for marketers anymore! With campaigns spanning PPC, social, organic search, and offline channels, it’s easy for crucial data to slip through the cracks.
By leveraging call tracking software and AI-driven insights, marketers can gain a complete view of the customer journey. Armed with this goldmine of intel, marketers can see which campaigns are driving the results that matter most. Enter Smart Outcomes, Infinity's new AI-powered tool, that enables marketers to make the most of these insights to consistently ramp up performance and deliver tangible results.
Why customer journey analytics is critical for marketers
The missing link in marketing attribution
Traditional analytics focus on clicks and conversions but often miss a crucial element: phone calls. A lot of high-value customers prefer to call before making a purchase, especially if it's a costly one. Without call tracking software, marketers don't have visibility over these conversions, leading to misallocated budgets and missed opportunities.
Challenges of incomplete attribution
- Misattributing high-intent leads to the wrong channels
- Overlooking offline conversions, causing inaccurate campaign performance analysis
- Struggling to optimise PPC campaigns due to a lack of full-funnel data
With customer journey analytics, marketers can connect online and offline interactions. Result? Completely accurate attribution and much better decision-making.
How Smart Outcomes improves marketing performance
1 Connecting calls to marketing channels
Smart Outcomes integrates with call tracking software to identify which ads, keywords, and campaigns drive high-quality calls. This means marketers can tie inbound calls directly to their PPC and digital efforts.
2 AI-powered automation
Manually analysing call data is time-consuming, especially when you're dealing with a high volume of calls. Smart Outcomes uses AI to categorise calls based on intent and outcome, automatically feeding this information into bidding tools. This enables marketers to optimise PPC campaigns with minimal effort.
