If you are not seeing phone conversions in Google AdWords, the most common causes are:

• Your WhatConverts tracking numbers are not in a Dynamic Number Pool.
• You have not enabled auto-tagging in Google AdWords.
• You have not added our tracking template onto your Google Adwords account.
• You have not linked WhatConverts with your Google Adwords account.

Please see the steps below on how to check for, and fix these issues.
