the short answer

How can a small business tell which marketing is working?

Follow each call, form fill and booking back to the search, map listing or ad that started it, and count each customer once. askotter does this from the business's own Google and ad accounts, and the owner decides where the budget goes.

Why it happens

Each platform counts every customer it touched as its own win. Add up their reports and you have more customers than you served. Nobody can say which spend is worth keeping.

How askotter fixes it

Ad results are tracked the same way under our PPC management. Compare plans on the digital marketing pricing page.

questions

Questions owners ask about this

How do I know if my Google Ads are working?

Compare the calls and bookings the ads brought with what they cost, counting each customer once. Google Ads reports its own conversions, so some customers who found you on the map or through search get counted as ad wins too.

Do I need call tracking?

It helps, because calls are how most local businesses get booked. askotter reads call data from your Google Business Profile and ad accounts, and counts calls from the website where tracking is set up.
