I have a button on my website, clicking on this button reveals a phonenumber.
HTML
<div class="call-wrapper-middle">
<button id="call-phone-middle"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i>Call us</button>
<div class="call-number-middle" style="display: block;"> <a href="tel:555" class="number">555</a></div>
</div>
Using the following jQuery
(function($) {
$("button#call-phone-middle").click(function() {
$(this).hide();
$("div.call-number-middle").show();
});
})(jQuery);
This works great. But I also wish to track the clicks on the button as a goal in Google Analytics.
So I added href="/show/phonenumber-middle" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview (‘Phonenumber Middle’);" target="blank"
to the button:
<div class="call-wrapper-middle">
<button href="/show/phonenumber-middle" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview (‘Phonenumber Middle’);" target="blank" id="call-phone-middle"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i>Call us</button>
<div class="call-number-middle" style="display: block;"> <a href="tel:555" class="number">555</a></div>
</div>
And added a goal in Google Analytics with the following settings:.
Goal setup: Custom
Goal type: Destination
Destination; Equals to: /show/phonenumber-middle
Getting "This Goal would have a 0% conversion rate based on your data" and in the Real Time report there is no conversations.
My guess is that something is wrong with the <button>
but I have no clue.
I would use a Google Analytics event for this. Here is the documentation for a GA click event. Then in goals, you would set your goal type to event, and you can track it via the Category, Action, or Label attributes
<div class="call-wrapper-middle">
<button href="/show/phonenumber-middle" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'buttons', 'click', 'phone-number-middle');" target="blank" id="call-phone-middle" style="display: none;"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i>Call us</button>
<div class="call-number-middle" style="display: block;"> <a href="tel:555" class="number">555</a></div>
</div>
