Step-by-Step Guide to Set Up Call Tracking for WhatsApp Ads

1. Sign Up for 800.com

Start by signing up for an 800.com account if you haven’t already. 800.com provides powerful call tracking features that allow you to monitor and analyze incoming calls generated by your WhatsApp Ads.

2. Set Up a Call Tracking Number

Once logged into your 800.com account, follow these steps to create a tracking number:

• In the 800.com dashboard, generate a new call tracking number. This number will be used to track all calls coming from your WhatsApp Ads.
• Assign the tracking number to your WhatsApp Ads campaign. When customers call this number, 800.com will track important details like call duration, caller location, and more.

3. Create a WhatsApp Ad Campaign

• Go to Meta Ads Manager (WhatsApp Ads are created through Meta’s ad platform) and start a new campaign.
• Select an appropriate objective for your WhatsApp Ads, such as Messages or Conversions, depending on your goals.
• Define your target audience, budget, and ad placements, ensuring WhatsApp is selected as a placement.

4. Add Your 800.com Tracking Number to Your WhatsApp Ads

Here’s how to integrate your 800.com tracking number into your WhatsApp Ads:

• Call-to-Action (CTA): If your ad includes a "Call Now" option as a CTA, make sure to include your 800.com tracking number in this button.
• Landing Page: If you're using a landing page as part of your WhatsApp campaign, prominently display the tracking number on the page, making it easy for users to call.

5. Enable Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI)
