If your phone number is not showing on mobile, it is usually hiding in the footer, sitting inside a picture, buried in the menu, or covered by a cookie box or chat bubble. The fix is to put the number as real text near the top of the page, make it tappable, and test it on a real phone. Someone standing in water does not scroll to look for you.
Pick up your own phone, open your site like a stranger would, and do not touch anything. Look only at what fills the screen before you scroll.
Write down what you see. If the number is not there as text you can tap, that is the problem to fix today.
In our own October 2026 phone-size checks of 128 websites of Los Angeles County plumbing companies, 32 of 128 did not show a phone number on the first phone screen. Full method and numbers: resultoz.com/state-of-la-websites
Two spots work well together. Put the number in the header, at the top of every page, and add a bar that sticks to the bottom of the screen with a call button.
The bottom bar matters because people hold a phone low. A customer with a burst pipe can press call without reading anything.
A number inside a picture cannot be tapped and cannot be read out by a phone. Type the number as text instead.
Then turn that text into a phone link. In most website builders you highlight the number, choose the link option, and pick the phone or call type rather than a web address. Paste the digits with the area code and no spaces inside the link itself.
Keep the number you actually answer. If calls forward to a cell at night, that is fine, but test the forward.
Plumbing calls come at night, on weekends and on holidays. A customer with no hot water or a clogged main line wants to know in a second whether calling is worth it.
Put a short line right under the number. Say your hours in plain words, and say clearly if nights and weekends are answered, if there is a call-out charge, and which towns you drive to.
Cookie boxes, newsletter pop-ups and chat bubbles often land right on top of the header or the bottom bar. On a small screen there is no room for all of them.
Move the chat bubble to the opposite side of the call button, delay any pop-up, or remove it. Then look again on a small phone and a large one.
Ask someone who does not work with you to find your number on their phone without help. If they hesitate, move it higher.
Run your home page through pagespeed.web.dev on the mobile setting. Aim for Largest Contentful Paint of 2.5 seconds or less, Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 and Interaction to Next Paint of 200 milliseconds, so the page does not jump while someone is reaching for the call button. Also confirm the same number appears on your Google Business Profile at business.google.com.
