If you have a business or individual website and want to make it easy for people to call, today we’re going over how to make phone numbers clickable in WordPress. There are a few ways we can go about doing this, both of which will be covered here.
First, let’s go over the reasons why we might want to do this. We all know how annoying it is when someone calls us and we can’t answer because we don’t have our phone in front of us. With a clickable number, you will be able to answer the phone with ease.
In addition, your website is a great place for people looking for more information about you and what you offer. A clickable number will help you generate more leads by increasing conversions, which is how many people are able to find out about your business or brand.
Now that we’ve gone over the reasons for making a phone number clickable, let’s go ahead and get started. We’ll go over two different ways we can do this and both will be using a plugin.
First, the easiest way to make a phone number clickable is to use a plugin called Click To Call. This plugin works with most WordPress themes and all you have to do is enter the phone number and the plugin will automatically make it clickable.
The way Click To Call works is that when someone clicks on your website, they will be prompted with a pop-up window that will allow them to call you. You can then choose whether or not the plugin is allowed to use your computer’s microphone to record audio while the pop-up is up.
Next, we will be going over how to add clickable phone numbers to your website by using a “phone number” shortcode. This is great for websites that are built on coding because it will allow you to put the phone number wherever you want.
To use this method, first insert a “phone” shortcode into your website. Next, you will be able to customize the phone number by changing the default settings of your website. This is perfect if you want to edit or add some extra information to the phone number.
After you have chosen your settings, don’t forget to click save changes and then publish or update your website. Now you will see the phone number on your website and it should be clickable!
