How do I edit the contact number on DV Builder?

To edit the contact number on DV Builder, simply click on the link where users will make a call and replace the existing number with your new contact number. Be sure to avoid adding a plus one (+1) before the number, as this can cause issues with call tracking through Call Rail.

Full Explanation

When you need to update the contact number displayed on your DV Builder site, the key step is to locate the phone link that visitors use to place a call. Editing this link allows you to swap out the old number for the new one. This is important because the phone number is the direct channel through which potential customers reach you.

However, an important detail to remember is not to include the country code prefix +1 before the number. Doing so may create complications, especially if you are using Call Rail, a system that tracks and manages calls. Keeping the number formatted without +1 ensures smooth functionality for call tracking and avoids errors.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Locate the clickable phone number link on your DV Builder site that people use to initiate calls.
  2. Click on this link to edit it.
  3. Replace the existing phone number with your updated contact number.
  4. Ensure the new number does not start with a plus one (+1) prefix.
  5. Save your changes to update the live site.

Real Examples

For example, if your current displayed number is 555-123-4567, and you want to change it to 555-765-4321, click on the link where 555-123-4567 appears, replace it with 555-765-4321, and save. Avoid changing it to +1-555-765-4321, as this may disrupt call tracking in Call Rail.

Common Mistakes

  • Adding the plus one (+1) prefix before the phone number.
