Tracking website enquiries starts with one simple distinction: a visitor clicking a contact button and a business receiving an enquiry are different events. Count both if they help you diagnose the customer journey, but use confirmed enquiries to judge how much work the website is bringing in.
Decide what counts as an enquiry
A completed quote form, a call where someone asks about a service, and a message requesting an appointment can all count. A tap on a phone number only shows intent; it does not tell you whether the call connected. Likewise, opening a WhatsApp chat does not establish that a message was sent. Label those actions separately so the numbers remain useful.
Keep a simple enquiry register
Start with a private spreadsheet or the system your team already uses. For each enquiry, record the date, service requested, channel, source if known, and outcome. A useful outcome might be awaiting reply, quote sent, booked, or outside your service area. Give each enquiry one identifier so a form submission followed by a phone call does not get counted twice.
Keep access limited to the people who handle enquiries. Your weekly report can use totals without including names, phone numbers or message contents. Leave the source as unknown when you cannot establish it rather than assigning credit to the last campaign you remember running.
Separate search visibility from customer outcomes
Use Google Search Console to see which pages receive clicks from Google Search. Use your enquiry register to see how many people actually contacted you and how many enquiries were suitable. Those numbers answer different questions. A rise in clicks may be encouraging, but it does not demonstrate that visitors booked work.
For example, suppose a service page receives more search clicks this month, but its enquiries stay flat. Check whether the page explains the service and where it is available, then try completing its form on a phone. If enquiries rise but qualified requests do not, review the page wording and the questions asked on the form before changing the design.
Check that your tracking matches what happens
Submit a clearly labelled test enquiry and confirm that it appears where your team expects to see it. Check the customer confirmation, the saved enquiry, and the staff notification separately. Reload the confirmation page and verify that the same submission does not create a second enquiry in your records. Keep test records out of the figures you use for business decisions.
If you use campaign tags, test a tagged link and check whether the source reaches the system that records your enquiry. Some visitors return later through another channel, so treat source information as a clue rather than a complete account of how they chose you.
Review a few numbers each week
Look at confirmed enquiries, suitable enquiries, and bookings over the same period. Add a note when you change a form, launch a campaign, or stop offering a service. For a business with few enquiries, read the actual outcomes before drawing conclusions from percentage changes. One extra booking can make a large percentage difference without establishing a trend.
Start with the page that matters most to your business. If many visitors reach it and few enquiries come through, test the contact path and improve the information customers need to decide. If requests are coming through but replies are delayed, give someone responsibility for checking and responding to them.
