Marchex, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHX), a mobile advertising technology company, will team up with Google (News - Alert) next Wednesday for a Google Hangout session on how businesses can drive more calls from consumers who are constantly searching for products and services on their mobile phones.

Marchex and Google will discuss call trends, call analytics, and general call strategy during the broadcast, and talk about additional insights from a white paper the two companies partnered on in May (find it here).
