Conversion Rate

Analytics

The percentage of visitors who complete a desired action (purchase, call, form submission). In call tracking context, it's the percentage of visitors who call.

Cookie Window

Tracking

The length of time Hyros stores a visitor's tracking data in their browser. Typically 30 days. Affects how long numbers stay assigned in dynamic pools.

D

DNI (Dynamic Number Insertion)

Tracking

Technology that automatically replaces phone numbers on a website based on the visitor's source. Each visitor sees a unique tracking number from your pool.

Dynamic Pool

Tracking

A collection of tracking phone numbers that Hyros assigns to individual visitors. Each visitor gets a unique number from the pool for accurate attribution.

E

Escalation Signal

Tracking

An event that indicates high purchase intent (like entering an email or phone number). Used to improve tracking accuracy on forms and checkouts.

F

First Click Attribution

Analytics

Attribution model that gives 100% credit to the first ad/source that started the customer journey. Shows which campaigns initiate conversions.

H

hyros-dni

Tracking

CSS class that must be added to phone links (<a href="tel:..."> tags) to enable click tracking. Without this class, Hyros won't track when visitors tap/click phone numbers.

L

LTV (Lifetime Value)

Analytics

Total revenue generated by a customer over their entire relationship with your business. Hyros tracks LTV by source, campaign, and cohort.

M

Multi-Touch Attribution

Analytics

Attribution model that distributes credit across multiple touchpoints in the customer journey. Unlike First Click, it shows all sources that influenced a conversion.

N

Number Recycling

Tracking

The process of releasing tracking numbers when a visitor's session ends or cookie expires, making them available for new visitors. Prevents pool exhaustion.

P

Pool Script

Tracking

JavaScript code that enables dynamic number insertion for a specific pool. Each pool has a unique script that must be added to your website's <head> section.

S

Segment

Analytics

A filtered group of leads based on specific criteria (source, date range, tags, etc.). Used to analyze performance of specific audience groups.

Shadow DOM

Technical

A web component technology that encapsulates HTML/CSS, making form elements harder to access. Some platforms (like Kajabi) use this, requiring special scripts for tracking.

Static Number

Tracking

A dedicated tracking number assigned to a specific campaign or channel. Everyone sees the same number. Best for offline ads (TV, radio, billboards).

U

Universal Script

Tracking

Hyros's main tracking script that captures page visits, clicks, and escalation signals. Required for static number tracking and general analytics.
