A click to text is a very convenient way to get your website visitors to send you a text instead of calling your business. When clicked, a click-to-text link or a button will allow your website visitors to easily send you a text message from their mobile phone. Click-to-Text links and buttons are preferred over the widgets that asks your website visitors to fill out a form to start texting.
A click to text can either be a link or a button on your website that when clicked, will allow the person to send a text message to any phone number you add.
Adding a Click-to-Text link or a button on a website is quite simple. All you have to do is drop a short HTML snippet in the body of your website. Take a look at the click to text button and link HTML snippets below.
