CallRail Phone Call Tracking

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   They stopped updating this plugin and it’s no longer functioning normally — install the callrail snippet some other way.

   This plugin works, but months later, we looked at our server logs, and this URL below took so long to process that it took all our sites down for a couple of minutes. And it runs often. /index.php?rest_route=/Calltrk/v1/store I would use the javascript route for adding call rail, not this plugin. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by briangelhaus.

   Constant integration issues with Adwords make our conversion data mostly useless. In Adwords this is a huge problem. They recently lost 2/3 of our all time call recordings!!!!! This data was priceless and is unrecoverable. Callrail’s support is some of the worst I have encountered and even during emergency situations they are not in a hurry to help. Calls to support go unanswered and if we get a callback it is often the next day by someone who has little knowledge. We are finding a new company to work with and I would suggest others to do the same. I will update this post with a full breakdown of all our callrail issues once we have migrated to a new provider. Too many to list at the current moment 🙁

   We use the CallRail WordPress plugin on several auto repair websites to track calls from PPC campaigns.
