Number Pools are used in conjunction with Dynamic Number Insertion to link a phone call to an online click event, which can be in turn associated with a keyword/campaign that drove the click.

With Number Pools, a unique number dynamically replaces a number on a webpage based on a set of predefined Number Replacement Rules.
