Phone click tracking

How to track phone clicks on WordPress without Google Analytics

Why phone clicks matter

On mobile, many customers tap your phone number instead of filling out a form. Those clicks are high-intent leads — but email notifications and form plugins never see them.

  • Emergency and after-hours calls often start as a website tap
  • GA requires manual event setup for tel: links
  • Call tracking SaaS costs extra and changes your phone numbers

How Lead Ledger tracks tel: clicks

Lead Ledger listens for clicks on standard tel: links anywhere on your WordPress site. Each event logs page URL, timestamp, and device — alongside your form submissions in one dashboard.

  • No dynamic phone numbers required
  • Works with any theme or page builder
  • Pro stores UTM/gclid when present on the landing URL
