How to Track Phone Calls in Google Analytics: Step-by-Step Guide [2026]

Learn how to track phone calls in Google Analytics using Convirza. Connect call data to GA4 events in under 20 minutes with full source attribution.

Before you start

Before you begin, you need a Convirza account, a GA4 property with Measurement Protocol or GTM access, admin permissions in both platforms, a list of your active marketing sources, and compliant call recording disclosure language. All five items are required before you provision your first tracking number.

Steps

1

Create a Convirza tracking number pool

Log in to your Convirza dashboard and navigate to Settings > Numbers > Create Number Pool. Select your target area code and assign a descriptive label such as "Google Ads - Brand" or "Organic Search."
2

Install the Convirza tracking script on your website

Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Website Script in Convirza. Copy the dynamic number insertion (DNI) snippet provided.
3

Configure GA4 event parameters for call data

Inside Convirza, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Google Analytics. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID (format: G-XXXXXXXXXX) and your GA4 API Secret.
4

Activate Conversation Analytics™ scoring

Open Settings > Conversation Analytics™ and select your industry scoring template. Conversation Analytics™ applies over 300 behavioral signals to every call, including appointment set, price quoted, objection raised, and competitor mentioned.
5

Place a test call and verify the GA4 event fires

Dial one of your newly provisioned tracking numbers from a mobile phone. Open GA4 DebugView (Admin > DebugView) in a separate browser tab before you call.
6

Set call events as GA4 conversions and review by source

In GA4, navigate to Admin > Events and locate the phone_call event Convirza sent during your test. Toggle "Mark as conversion" to on.

EXPECTED OUTCOME

Within 48 hours of completing setup, GA4 shows phone call conversions by source, campaign, and medium alongside your existing digital conversion data. You have a single analytics view that accounts for every lead, not just the ones that clicked a form.
