What about Invoca and Aragon? What’s the deal?

Working with Invoca’s AI-powered call tracking and conversational analytics platform helps Aragon deliver real-time call analytics, based on data generated before, during, and after a phone conversation, that their clients can use to make informed decisions.

“Invoca already works with some of the most well-respected brands. Their technology is strong, they have a reliable infrastructure (calls don’t getdropped, blocked by carriers) and they spent a lot of resources building fraud protection for keeping Advertisers safe.”

One of Invoca’s most valuable features is syndication. Through syndication, Advertisers are able to provide marketing experts, like Aragon, with access to their campaigns. Approved Partners are able to pull call tracking phone numbers from Invoca and drive calls for the Advertiser’s campaigns, earning payouts for quality traffic.

Why did they choose Everflow?

Aragon has been using Everflow’s all-in-one platform for managing both their click tracking, and their pay-per-call data. They drive performance for their Advertisers though tracking links, tracking phone numbers or without links using Direct Linking.

They decided to migrate to Everflow for all of the advanced features that would help them continue to build on their successes. Everflow offered them a better solution that continues to evolve and keep up with major changes in the industry, including: ITP & GDPR.

“We appreciate how seriously Everflow takes our feature requests. They built the core features we needed to switch to them, and have continued to support our additional requests. The ability to build exactly what we need for our partners has really created a fantastic relationship.”

Initially, Everflow had no functionality nor integration with Invoca. However, the Everflow customer specialist team worked tirelessly to quickly bridge that gap. Aragon is now able to see the call record IDs, which makes it easier to zero in on any reporting discrepancies. The synced report helps them quickly and painlessly compare transaction records to find where any issues are occurring.

“There was a lot of time invested upfront, many meetings with itemized actions to ensure we were properly prepared. The migration was as smooth as can be expected. We didn’t see any drops in performance or have any outages which was really impressive considering how large our migration was.”
– Eric Famoso, Aragon Advertising

The partnerships with Everflow and Invoca armed Aragon with actionable data for optimizing their campaign’s performance.They’ve managed to continue to grow their business during the entire process, and be supported with ongoing feature improvements that leaves the future looking bright.

Pay-Per-Call requires the right platform and strategy

If you’re getting into Pay-Per-Call, there are huge advantages to Invoca’s reach and reputation. As an Advertiser, you can syndicate to their world-class Partners, including Aragon, or as a Publisher, you can have direct access to Invoca’s respected brand customers.

When considering building a full Partner program, it’s critical that you take it one step further by choosing the right platform for managing your relationships. Tracking and managing each channel separately leads to continued battles regarding attribution and what drives real value. Effective performance marketing requires the right mix of channels, and you need to be able to determine granular ROI and engagement to see what is working or not working. Learn from Aragon.
