For service businesses, a phone call is the most valuable lead there is. Yet many sites hide the number in the footer. Here's where a lead generation website should feature its phone number, and how to show it.
The short answer
Top right of the header on every page, inside the hero next to the main call to action, in a sticky tap-to-call bar on mobile, and again in the final call-to-action section and footer.
1. Header, top right
Visitors expect it there. Make it large enough to read, with a short label like "Call now" or "Free quote". On desktop, keep the header sticky so the number stays visible.
2. Hero section
Put the number beside your primary button: "Get a free quote" + "or call (512) 555-0134". Some visitors will never fill in a form but will call.
3. Sticky mobile call bar
On phones, a fixed bottom bar with a tap-to-call button often becomes the single biggest source of leads. Use a `tel:` link so one tap starts the call.
4. After key sections
After reviews, pricing and FAQ, repeat the call to action with the number. That's when trust peaks.
5. Contact page and footer
Include the number with your address and hours. Keep it identical everywhere (and in your Google Business Profile) for local SEO consistency.
Formatting tips
- Use a local number if you serve a local area; it builds trust. See local phone number for cold calling.
- Format it for readability: (512) 555-0134.
- Show hours next to it: "Mon–Sat 7am–7pm".
- Track clicks on the number as conversions.
