How To Get Your Website Visitors to Call You

How many visitors come to your small business website? Of those, how many take action and contact you, and how many simply leave?

For small business owners who have a physical store front, usually the primary purpose of your website is to get potential customers to call or stop by your place of business.

Many of the sites I see don’t have a clear “call to action” that asks a visitor to take the next step. Without this, all the hard work you’ve done to get people to your website is usually lost.

One great way to provide a specific call to action on your website is to add a “Click to Call” button. This is a capability that most hosted small business phone systems or hosted PBXs offer, and it is easy to implement. It allows your visitors to press a button to get connected to you on the phone.

Click to Call Benefits:

1. Provides a call to action for your visitors
2. Allows you to track which calls come from your website
3. Many people prefer to contact you by phone instead of email or a contact form

If you have a virtual phone system like RingCentral, you can add a “Click to Call” or “RingMe” button to your website in five minutes with three easy steps:

1. Choose your button
2. Get the code snippet
3. Add it to your site in the footer or sidebar
