The rise in mobile usage and popularity
Mobile has fundamentally transformed customer behavior and their expectations in recent years. According to data from GSMA Intelligence, there are 5.29 billion unique mobile phone users in the world today. Furthermore, the total number of unique mobile users around the world grew by 97 million in the past 12 months.
Calls to businesses from cell phones
Increasingly, customers use cell phones to make most or all of their calls. Nowadays, people are much more likely to use click-to-call, and search for phone numbers in web ads and on websites, than ever before.
Making it easier for consumers to call your business at the moment of intent can increase sales, revenues, profits and overall customer satisfaction. According to Google, 84% of people use mobile (cell) phones along with other devices while surfing the web, and 48% of local mobile searches ended with a call . Google also discovered that, concerningly, 47% of mobile search users will search for other brands if they don’t see a phone number in a company’s web ad.
Do you know if your customer numbers are working correctly across mobile networks?
With such a rise in popularity of cell phones and smart phones around the world, are you confident that your numbers are working as well as they should be across mobile networks?
While you may be familiar with, and are already testing your numbers across traditional fixed-lines, are you testing these same numbers on mobile networks? Testing your numbers across mobile networks ensures you replicate your customers’ experience regardless of whether they are calling you on a traditional fixed-line or a mobile network.
