Put your service area in your contact details
Use a local business number on your website, signage and customer paperwork. The area code connects your number to a geographic area.
Keep your personal mobile off advertising
Customers dial the business number while you answer through a supported app or forwarding setup.
Build one contact around your local work
For example, a local electrician can use the same area-code number on their van and website while answering between jobs.
Local business number: common questions
What if I serve several towns?
Use the area most relevant to your business, or a national number if no single place fits.
Must I answer calls in that area?
No. Supported virtual services can deliver calls elsewhere.
Can I keep my existing business number?
Porting may let you retain it, subject to eligibility.
