Where should a phone number appear on a website?
In the header without scrolling, as a fixed bar on mobile, at the end of every substantial section, and in the footer — always as real text in a tel: link, never as an image. An image cannot be tapped, copied or read by a screen reader, and hiding the number behind a contact page reads as avoidance.
Why Hard-To-Find Phone Numbers Matter
In the digital age, potential customers expect to find your contact information effortlessly. If they can’t locate it quickly, they might leave or never return. A well-placed and easy-to-find phone number is crucial for converting visitors into leads.
The Problem: Hard-To-Find Phone Number
- Visitors struggle: Customers may have to scroll through multiple pages or click around before finding your contact information.
- Increased bounce rates: Visitors who can’t find the phone number might leave, resulting in higher bounce rates and lost opportunities.
