1. Use HTML code: You can add a HTML code to make your number clickable. If we want to make our business number 085 06 09 000 clickable, we would add ‘tel:’ before our business number. It would look like this:”tel:+31850609000” Make sure to always add your country code (+31 for NL) before your phone number.  
2. Add the code to your website: Replace the phone number in the code with your business phone number and add the HTML code everywhere your phone number is displayed on your website.
