Abstract

A call conversion tracking system is disclosed that tracks call-based communications initiated from invitational content. Based on the tracking, the call conversion tracking system generates data analytics quantifying the effectiveness of the invitational content's ability to trigger a voice call (e.g., a phone call) and/or other type of voice communication. The system correlates the voice communication data and sales-related data, and associates such data to interactions within the invitational content responsible for driving the call and sale.

Claims (51)

1. A method for call conversion comprising:

modifying in real-time, using a computing device, invitational content by including a phone number in the invitational content during presentation of the invitational content at the computing device, the invitational content modified to monitor users interacting with the invitational content, the invitational content identifying an advertising campaign for a particular product;

obtaining, using the computing device, user interactions of a user interacting with the invitational content;

determining, using the computing device, a service need of the user based on the user interactions;

determining, using the computing device and in response to a voice call initiated by the user, an agent of a plurality of agents to assist the user based on the determined service need;

routing, using the computing device, the voice call initiated by the user to the determined agent;

obtaining, using the computing device and subsequent to connecting the voice call with the determined agent, voice communication data from the voice call initiated by the user in response to the advertising campaign; and

generating, using the computing device, a graphical user-interface based on the voice communication data, wherein the graphical user-interface displays information that includes a correlation between a particular user interaction of the user interactions and a portion of the voice communication data,

wherein the service need of the user is determined prior to the voice call being initiated by the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with a portion of the voice communication data comprises a user interaction that caused the user to initiate the voice call.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining geographic information associated with the computing device; and

wherein the graphical user-interface displays the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with the portion of the voice communication data based on the geographic information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user-interface is a customer relationship management interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating the determined service need of the user with the phone number included in the invitational content prior to the voice call being initiated by the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service need of the user is determined from metadata capturing the actions of the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service need of the user is determined using a machine learning model.

8. A system for call conversion comprising:

a memory; and

a computer processor coupled to the memory, the computer processor configured to:

modify in real-time invitational content by including a phone number in the invitational content during presentation of the invitational content at the computing device, the invitational content modified to monitor users interacting with the invitational content, the invitational content identifying an advertising campaign for a particular product;

obtain user interactions of a user interacting with the invitational content;

determine a service need of the user based on the user interactions;

determine, in response to a voice call initiated by the user, an agent of a plurality of agents to assist the user based on the determined service need;

route the voice call initiated by the user to the determined agent;

obtain, subsequent to connecting the voice call with the determined agent, voice communication data from the voice call initiated by the user in response to the advertising campaign; and

generate a graphical user-interface based on the voice communication data, wherein the graphical user-interface displays information that includes a correlation between a particular user interaction of the user interactions and a portion of the voice communication data,

wherein the service need of the user is determined prior to the voice call being initiated by the user.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with a portion of the voice communication data comprises a user interaction that caused the user to initiate the voice call.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the computer processor is further configured to:

obtain geographic information associated with the computing device; and

wherein the graphical user-interface displays the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with the portion of the voice communication data based on the geographic information.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the graphical user-interface is a customer relationship management interface.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the service need of the user is determined from metadata capturing the actions of the user.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the service need of the user is determined using a machine learning model.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions for call conversion, the instructions, executable by a processing device, comprising:

modifying in real-time invitational content by including a phone number in the invitational content during presentation of the invitational content at the computing device, the invitational content modified to monitor users interacting with the invitational content, the invitational content identifying an advertising campaign for a particular product;

obtaining user interactions of a user interacting with the invitational content;

determining a service need of the user based on the user interactions;

determining, in response to a voice call initiated by the user, an agent of a plurality of agents to assist the user based on the determined service need;

routing the voice call initiated by the user to the determined agent;

obtaining, subsequent to connecting the voice call with the determined agent, voice communication data from the voice call initiated by the user in response to the advertising campaign;

generating a graphical user-interface based on the voice communication data, wherein the graphical user-interface displays information that includes a correlation between a particular user interaction of the user interactions and a portion of the voice communication data,

wherein the service need of the user is determined prior to the voice call being initiated by the user.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further wherein the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with a portion of the voice communication data comprises a user interaction causing the user to initiate the voice call.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the graphical user-interface is a customer relationship management interface.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising:

obtaining geographic information associated with the computing device; and

wherein the graphical user-interface displays the information correlating the particular user interaction of the user interactions with the portion of the voice communication data based on the geographic information.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the service need of the user is determined from metadata capturing the actions of the user.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the service need of the user is determined using a machine learning model.
