If I have an ad running the 444 number and a second ad with slightly different wording going to the 693 number and a third to the 632 number I can measure the response rate for wording used based on the phone number that gets the most calls.Also, with google voice you can have different voicemails for different groups.

What would you say is a good price to aim for?
