Phone Conversion Number
Google Ads allows to track calls to a phone number on a website. It does this by automatically swapping the real phone number with a Google number which will redirect the call to the real phone number.
You can test the phone swapping by appending the following URL parameter on one of the pages where your phone number appears: #google-wcc-debug
The URL would then look like this: https://example.com/#google-wcc-debug

You'll find more info about phone call conversion tracking on the Google support pages here.
