What happens when a user comes from Google Ads?

Short Answer: When a user visits your website through Google Ads, CallRail detects the source and automatically replaces your website’s displayed phone number with a unique Cora number. This means the user will never see your actual phone number.

Full Explanation

Every time a user arrives at your website from a Google Ads campaign, CallRail steps in to manage the phone number shown on your site. Instead of showing your real business phone number, it swaps it out with a Cora number. This unique number is linked specifically to the user coming from Google Ads, which means the actual phone number remains hidden from the visitor.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. A user clicks on your Google Ads and lands on your website.
  2. CallRail detects that this visitor came from a Google Ads source.
  3. CallRail looks up the phone number currently listed on your site.
  4. It replaces the original number with a Cora number tailored for this visitor.
  5. The user sees and potentially dials the Cora number instead of your real phone number.

Real Examples

Imagine your website displays the phone number (123) 456-7890. When a user arrives via Google Ads, instead of showing (123) 456-7890, CallRail switches it with a different number assigned by Cora. The visitor only sees this substituted number, helping you track calls from specific advertising campaigns without revealing your true contact details.

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming that the phone number shown is always your business’s real number. Users coming through Google Ads will see the substituted Cora number.
  • Not realizing that CallRail dynamically changes the number based on visitor source, which can lead to confusion if you’re checking your website manually.

FAQs
