What is a Local Number?

A local number is a phone number tied to a particular geographic area. Its area code corresponds to a city or region, though many cities have several area codes. For example, 917 is one of the area codes associated with New York City. Choosing a number with the right area code can instantly make your business feel familiar to customers in that location.

Why Use a Local Number?

Build Local Credibility
Customers are more likely to trust a business that appears rooted in their community. A recognizable area code helps establish that connection.

Improve Answer Rates
People tend to engage more with calls from numbers they recognize. A local number increases the chance that someone will pick up.

Expand into New Regions
Want to grow into a new city or state? A local number allows you to show presence without needing a physical office there.
