Want to know exactly which marketing efforts are bringing in phone calls and leads? With 800.com, you can set up call tracking in just a few steps—giving you the insight you need to improve your marketing ROI and make smarter decisions.
Whether you're running digital ads, social media campaigns, or traditional print marketing, 800.com makes it easy to track the results.
Here’s how to get started.
Step 1: Create or Log into Your 800.com Account
Before anything else, you’ll need an active 800.com account. If you don’t already have one:
-
Go to 800.com
-
Click Get Started or select the 'Pricing' tab, and choose your plan
-
Complete the account setup process
Once you're in, you’re ready to start tracking.
Step 2: Purchase Your Tracking Numbers
With 800.com, you can purchase toll-free or local phone numbers to assign to different campaigns or marketing sources.
Here’s how:
-
In your 800.com dashboard, go to Phone Numbers
-
Click Add Number
-
Choose between toll-free or local
-
Select the area code or prefix you want
-
Purchase and label each number based on the campaign (e.g., “Google Ads,” “Postcard Mailer,” “Facebook Ad”)
💡 Tip: Use clear, consistent naming so it’s easy to analyze results later.
Step 3: Assign Numbers to Campaigns
Now it’s time to connect each number with a specific marketing effort. Use your tracking numbers wherever that campaign appears:
-
Use one number on Google Ads
-
Another on your Facebook campaign
-
A third on your direct mail postcards
-
And so on…
For websites:
Use 800.com’s Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) to display different phone numbers based on the visitor’s traffic source (e.g., Google, social, email). This gives you accurate tracking for online campaigns.
To enable DNI:
-
Go to the Tools or Settings section of your 800.com dashboard
-
Find the Dynamic Number Insertion setup
-
Follow the prompts to install the tracking script on your website
-
Assign tracking numbers to each source (Google Ads, Organic Search, etc.)
Step 4: Set Up Call Forwarding and Notifications
You can direct all tracking numbers to your main business line so you don’t miss a call, and set up email or text notifications for new calls.
-
Go to Phone Numbers
-
Select the number you want to configure
-
Set the forwarding number (your main phone line)
-
Enable call notifications and voicemail if desired
Step 5: Activate Call Recording (Optional)
If you want to review or evaluate how calls are handled, you can enable call recording:
-
Go to your number’s settings
-
Toggle on Call Recording
-
Choose whether to notify callers with a pre-recorded message for compliance
This is a great tool for training and improving customer interactions.

800.com provides call reports that show key insights, such as:
-
Call volume by campaign
-
Caller location
-

Access this by going to Call Logs or Analytics in your dashboard.
Use this data to:
-

Step 7: Integrate with Google Analytics and CRM (Optional)
For more detailed tracking and attribution, connect 800.com with your other tools:
-
Google Analytics: Track phone call events alongside web traffic

CRM software: Log calls as part of your lead and customer records
You’ll need to add 800.com’s tracking code to your site and configure your Analytics/CRM settings to receive call data. Contact 800.com support if you need help with integrations.
