Got Traffic ... Now What?

by Kevin W. May 13, 2009

When you have good website analytics data that's showing lots of traffic, low bounce rates, good page views, etc… the next question to ask is not how we get more visitors, but HOW do you engage more of the visitors and persuade them to make contact with you either by email, filling out a form, or picking up the phone?

To engage more visitors and earn their confidence it’s about identifying what it is the visitor wants out of their experience on your website and giving it to them.

One simple thing … How many of your online shoppers are first timer’s or novices?  What educational information about RVing could you offer on your site or point to on another website that would help them get better educated and start to see your dealership as their RVing expert?  What about this … have a few pages of RVing education, then offer an online quiz they can take to get a RV Educated Discount for their next purchase with you.

There isn’t a silver bullet to online success, but rather a focused, consistent effort that will over time produce better and better results.

How Can Call Tracking Help You?

by shauna May 11, 2009

Call Tracking can help on a number of different levels.  Most people assume that is just tells you where the call came from, but call tracking does MUCH more than that! 

If a customer were to call a dealership on a call tracking number, you would be able to gather all this information about the call (Plan Depending):

  • Listen to Call
  • Name of Caller
  • Phone Number of Caller
  • Geographic Location of Caller
  • Address of Caller
  • Answered/Voicemail/Hang Up/Other
  • Date of Call
  • Time of Call
  • Length of Call
  • How they landed on your site (PPC, Classified, Organic Search, and Many More)
  • Unique Caller versus Repeat Caller
  • And Much More!




Most dealers also assume this just helps gather information on the leads, but it can also do much more like:

  • Train Employees 
  • Improve Lead Follow-Up
  • Track Employees Performance
  • Start a Lead Follow-Up Guide 
  • Give a Better Understanding of where to Focus Marketing Efforts
  • Deciphering which Classified Sites are Worth Using
  • Managing PPC Campaigns
  • Tracking PPC Performance
  • Highest Traffic Lead Days 
  • Callers for RV Sales versus Parts Sales
