So you’ve gone through all the trouble of creating a stunning website for your business, only to leave the customer manually selecting your phone number to dial. Well, you can add telephone links to your website with a single HTML tag.

Having a clickable telephone link working on your website is super useful as it provides a 1 click action for a potential customer to call you.

Whether the potential customer is: ready to buy; has questions; or has feedback, then providing the easiest way possible for them to contact you is a sure way to show your business off as professional.

Medium doesn’t allow to custom HTML so the links can’t be demonstrated here, for the best reading experience I would recommend my website!

In this guide, I’ll show you how to add telephone links to your website and also cover off the different protocols that are available. These links are often called “Click to Call” links too.

Why Add HTML Telephone Links?

Simple put, a potential customer is a lot less likely to call if they have to manually select, copy and paste your phone number from your website.
