Why Your New Website Needs a Landline
Phone Number
In an era dominated by smartphones and online communication, adding a landline number to a new website may feel outdated. However, a virtual landline can still play an important role in building a strong business presence. It adds credibility, reinforces reliability, and helps reassure visitors that your business is established and trustworthy, making it a valuable addition to your overall website strategy.

A virtual landline number can greatly enhance the credibility of your website. Many customers associate landline numbers with established, trustworthy businesses, as they suggest a stable and professional operation. This can be especially valuable for new companies looking to build confidence quickly. By presenting a fixed contact number, your business appears more reliable, helping reassure visitors that they are dealing with a legitimate organisation.

National phone numbers are not tied to a specific city or region and instead represent a business’s presence across the UK. Numbers such as 0330 allow companies to appear nationwide rather than local to one area. These numbers make it easier for customers to contact a business regardless of their location, providing a consistent and professional point of contact.

What Is a Business Phone Number?
A dedicated phone number for your business plays a key role in helping your company look professional and credible in a crowded marketplace. When operating in a specific location, customers expect a reliable way to contact you. Having a recognised local or national phone number reassures potential clients and strengthens confidence in your brand.
Even if your website clearly explains what you offer, not everyone prefers to engage online. Many customers still choose to pick up the phone to ask questions or speak directly with your team. Without a business phone number in place, you risk missing valuable enquiries and losing potential customers before they ever reach you.
Why Should Businesses Use Local Phone Numbers?
Get a Local Phone Number from Any UK Area Code
For local business owners, having a phone number that reflects your location is a key part of building credibility and attracting nearby customers. Finsbury Media offers access to hundreds of UK area codes, giving you the flexibility to choose a local number for virtually any region in the country. This means you can create a strong local presence wherever your customers are. Forward Business Calls Straight to Your Mobile
A business phone number only adds value if calls are answered promptly. Missed calls often mean missed opportunities. In fact, a large proportion of customer enquiries made to major UK retailers never receive a response — something no growing business can afford.
With Finsbury Media’s call forwarding service, all incoming business calls can be routed directly to your mobile phone. This allows you to answer enquiries wherever you are and engage potential customers the moment they call.
Call Recording
Call recording is a valuable tool for businesses that rely on phone conversations to handle customer enquiries. In today’s fast-moving business environment, important details can easily be missed during a call — and those small gaps can impact customer confidence. With Finsbury Media’s call recording feature, you can securely record client conversations and revisit them whenever needed. This helps ensure nothing is overlooked and allows you to deliver a more precise and professional service.
Listening back to recorded calls reduces misunderstandings and makes it easier to spot customer concerns, preferences, and expectations. Armed with this insight, you can respond more effectively and tailor your service to real customer needs. Clear, high-quality recordings also support better communication across your team, helping your business build trust, strengthen its reputation, and stand out in a competitive local market.
