AdvertiserPhoneNumber (Business phone number)

[mry]

I ran a report to include the AdvertiserPhoneNumber, but it comes back with dashes for the entire history of the account (4 years). What is the purpose of this field? I would like to be able to report calls by advertiser phone number.

Best,

Mark

Hi,

I'm checking with the reporting team, as I'm seeing '--' for all of the reports I've tried so far as well.  I'll post back once I hear from them.

As an alternative, since call extensions are feed-based, you could use the PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT, e.g.:

SELECT FeedItemId, AttributeValues, Impressions FROM PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT WHERE IsSelfAction = "true" and PlaceholderType = 2 DURING LAST_MONTH

However, this won't provide you with some of the call extension-specific values (like CallDuration, CallStartTime, etc.).

Cheers,

Any answer yet on this?

Hi,

According to our reporting team, the AdvertiserPhoneNumber field has been deprecated and is no longer populated. In its place, please use the AttributeValues field in the PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT to get the phone number information.

For example, here's an AWQL-based report request that will give you the phone number information for all clicked call extensions between Feb 10 2015 and Feb 13 2015:

SELECT Date, FeedItemId, PlaceholderType, AttributeValues, IsSelfAction, Impressions FROM PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT WHERE PlaceholderType = 2 and IsSelfAction = TRUE DURING 20150210,20150213
