In this tutorial, we’ll show you exactly how to add a Click To Call button to your WordPress site.

How Do I Create a Call Now Button?

Step 2. Locate the WP Call Button Plugin Settings

Once you’ve activated the plugin on your WordPress site, you’ll want to configure the settings to your liking.

To find the WP Call Button settings area, go to the left-hand panel of your WordPress dashboard and click on Settings » WP Call Button.

This settings page will open on the Sticky Call Button page.

This type of button appears on the bottom of the user’s screen and moves up and down as they scroll, so it’s always visible. It’s also the most popular type of Click To Call button because it converts extremely well — similar to a CTA button on a website.

Step 3. Enter Your Business Phone Number

Now, enter your business telephone number where you want to receive the phone calls from your website visitors.

The WP Call Button plugin uses the smart phone field which means you can pick your country and it will automatically add the country code in the proper format.

If you don’t have a business phone number, then you can get one from Nextiva. You can control how you forward the calls to places including mobile phones instead of just landlines.

Step 4. Edit the Button Text

Next, you can change the call button text to say whatever you like. Simply click inside the text box where the default message “Call Us” is and edit it.

Editing the Click To Call button text will only work if you have a button in a Full-width position (it’s the only one that displays text). We’ll talk about button positions in the next step.

Step 5. Pick the Button Position

Now, decide which call button position works best for your website. There are 4 choices. However, full-width buttons receive the most conversions and will be the most effective to get you more online leads.

Step 6. Edit the Button Color

Next, you’ll want to edit the color of the phone call link button. Try using one of your business’ brand colors or a color that matches your small business WordPress theme.

Step 7. Pick the Call Button Visibility

Decide where you want your call button to be shown. It’s popular to display it everywhere on your site, so that’s the default. But you can also show it and/or hide it on only certain pages or posts.

Step 8. Save Changes

Click on the green Save Changes button on the bottom left of the settings page once everything in the settings is configured to your liking.

Step 9. Turn Your Button on

When you’ve successfully configured all the WP Call Button settings the way you want them, scroll to the top of the page and click on the green toggle icon to turn your Click To Call button on.

Now you can visit your site and see the call button in action.

Step 10: Set Up a Static Click To Call Button (Optional)

You also have the option to add a static call button in your WordPress contact page, about page, or any other post/page on your site.

A static Click To Call button will stay in place even when the user scrolls away, so it’s not always visible. It also shows a phone icon by default.

To add your static Click To Call button, create a new page or post in WordPress and click on the plus icon. Here, you’ll select the WP Call Button block.

Your button is fully customizable. Inside the block editor on the right, you can change the font size, plus the color of the static button background and text.

Next, select the blue Publish button in the top right corner to make your page or post live. Then, the static button will be displayed on your site.

After reading this, you can probably see why we recommend WP Call Button to add a call us now button to your website. It’s definitely the easiest and most powerful WordPress Click To Call button plugin on the market.

And the coolest part of this awesome plugin is that it’s 100% free.

Plus, it works with Google Analytics if you’re using the MonsterInsights plugin. It automatically tracks how many people click on your Click To Call button, so you can sit back and focus on making more money online.
