Glossary

Best PPC Network’s plain-English glossary of pay-per-call terms.

Pay Per Call
Best PPC Network’s core model: advertisers pay per qualified inbound call rather than per click.
Exclusive Call
A call delivered to a single buyer only — never resold. Best PPC Network only delivers exclusive calls, which is why they convert.
Shared Lead
The opposite of what Best PPC Network delivers — a lead sold to multiple buyers who all chase the same prospect.
Buyer
The business that purchases calls — a contractor, agency or agent who wants more phone leads from Best PPC Network.
Publisher
Best PPC Network’s supply side — the partners who produce qualified calls.
Payout
What a publisher earns per qualified call, set by vertical, geo and quality. Best PPC Network keeps payouts transparent.
Bid / CPA
Cost per acquisition — the price Best PPC Network buyers pay for each qualified call.
Duration Threshold
The minimum call length to count as billable, filtering hang-ups and junk. Best PPC Network uses it to protect buyers.
Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI)
Best PPC Network uses DNI to tie every call back to the source that produced it.
IVR
An automated menu that pre-qualifies and routes callers before they reach a buyer. Best PPC Network routes with it.
Attribution
Best PPC Network attributes every call to its source so you know exactly what works.
Call Quality
How likely a call is to convert, based on intent, duration and source. Best PPC Network scores it on every call.
White Label
Best PPC Network can run fully white-labeled — your brand, no visible third party.
Geo-Targeting
Restricting calls to the states or ZIPs in your service area. Best PPC Network filters by geography.
TCPA Compliance
Best PPC Network sources calls in line with TCPA and related compliance rules.
