- Director of Marketing

“Call Analytics data is one of the primary tools that we’re using in conversations with prospective customers.”

Call Marketplace delivers incremental call volume that boosts pay-per-call program revenue

The client uses its internal sources as well as Call Marketplace to deliver as many calls as possible under the billing cap. The client estimates that approximately 40% of the billable calls delivered to customers in the program are from Call Marketplace, and on average the revenue the client receives is $20 per call.


Incremental call volume provided by Marchex is crucial for viability of pay-per-call program

The incremental call volume provided through Marchex increases the value provided to customers, boosting retention, and also keeps the total revenue of the pay-per-call program at a size that ensures internal viability.

• For other organizations, a percentage of a certain program’s success may be attributable to Marchex call volume or call data.

The organization generates cost savings from consolidating vendors used prior to Marchex

Prior to using the Marchex solutions, the client was using other vendors to provide similar services to its pay-per-call customers. With the Marchex investment, the client is able to reduce or eliminate its use of these vendors.

Three-year risk-adjusted benefit: $354,376


Average cost savings $150,000

Risk adjustment 5%

Cost savings (risk-adjusted) $142,500


In order to achieve these benefits, the organization incurred costs in three categories

• For Call Marketplace, the client pays for qualified calls delivered to its customers in the pay-per-call program. The per-call prices charged by Marchex are calculated as a fixed percentage of the billable per-call cost charged to the client’s customers.

• Call Analytics is also priced on a per-call basis. This price includes the call tracking numbers as well as call data for each qualifying call.

• The client has a team of three staff who manage information and processes related to the pay-per-call program.

• The client built an internal site primarily to access call data from its two call analytics vendors. The site can be accessed by both sales staff and customers and is used to view call records and associated data.
