Build useful call and WhatsApp buttons

A call action suits questions your business can answer promptly. Publish working hours near the button when availability is limited. An unanswered call is a poor first impression even when the link itself works.

Build and test the details

Use an international-format number and test from another device. Confirm the WhatsApp destination belongs to the correct business. Avoid confidential information in prefilled message URLs because those URLs may be copied or shared.

Review after publishing

Offer email or a form for detailed questions. A button click is an attempt to contact you, not a completed conversation. Compare engagement with actual enquiries before deciding which channel deserves the first position.

Try this workflow

Open Pages, preview a template and choose Use template to edit a copy. Replace sample destinations before publishing. Templates, contact details and page analytics are free; custom-domain hosting starts with Starter or the one-time 7-day domain trial.

Save a draft during review, then publish and test each action on a phone. Keep the owner and next review date with your working notes. See current plans for package details.
