Use dynamic number insertion on the website while preserving the canonical business number in structured/local identity contexts. For GBP and citations, follow a consistent primary/secondary number strategy supported by the platform.
1. Choose one canonical local business number as the stable identity number.
2. Use JavaScript-based dynamic number insertion for session/source attribution on the website while keeping the underlying HTML/entity data consistent where appropriate.
3. Configure GBP phone fields intentionally and avoid cycling tracking numbers unpredictably.
4. Keep major citation sources consistent with the stable business identity number unless there is a documented tracking strategy.
5. Record call source, landing page, campaign, duration, and qualified outcome when possible.
6. Test click-to-call links and mobile rendering after tracking scripts load.
Attribution and NAP consistency do not have to conflict. The system should distinguish the business’s identity number from the temporary presentation number used for measurement.
