Call Tracking Marketing Call Tracking Number Features 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A dental clinic wants each of its 12 Google Ads campaigns to show a unique phone number so calls can be attributed to the right campaign. Which call tracking feature supports this?
- Campaign-level static number assignment (Correct answer)
- Interactive voice response menus
- Voicemail transcription

Correct answer: Campaign-level static number assignment
Assigning a dedicated static tracking number per campaign lets every inbound call be attributed to its source campaign.
Question 2: What is the primary purpose of Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) on a website?
- To swap the displayed phone number based on the visitor's traffic source (Correct answer)
- To block spam callers automatically
- To route calls to the nearest office
- To record calls for quality assurance
Correct answer: To swap the displayed phone number based on the visitor's traffic source
DNI uses JavaScript to dynamically replace the displayed number so each visitor's session and source can be tied to their call.

- Multiple concurrent visitors each need a unique number for accurate visitor-level attribution (Correct answer)
- Carriers require a minimum of ten numbers per account
- Single numbers cannot forward calls
- Pools reduce per-minute call charges
Correct answer: Multiple concurrent visitors each need a unique number for accurate visitor-level attribution
A number pool lets each concurrent visitor see a unique number, enabling session-level attribution of keywords and pages.
