Local phone number business benefits

Having a geographic phone number can help attract local business

Geographic phone numbers are those that are specifically linked to particular regions.  For example, the 0161 area code is used for Manchester phone numbers, whilst 0151 phone numbers are specific to Liverpool. Using a number that's connected to a region can inspire trust and loyalty in your business amongst local customers. For any business, listing a local phone number on your website will look more professional, reliable and trustworthy than a mobile phone number. In some cases, listing a local phone number can even give you an advantage over businesses with a generic phone number as visitors can feel that they will receive a more personalised service.

A local phone number can help you be found more easily

More and more consumers are using their mobile device when searching the internet, with click-to-call functionality increasing in popularity. Having a local number, especially one associated with your Google search result, can encourage viewers to call your business. This is especially useful if people are searching for your office or store whilst nearby or on the move.

A dedicated phone number is more marketable

Securing a number in a prestigious city can be advantageous

Owning a business phone number associated with a major city can help boost your business' presence. If your business is competing worldwide, having a prestigious London 020 phone number can make you look more attractive and credible.

Be local even if you're not
