How to get Whatsapp enquiries from your website

Make it easy for visitors to contact you instantly and you’ll naturally increase enquiries and conversions.

Why WhatsApp Works

People browsing your website — especially on mobile — prefer quick, low-effort ways to get in touch. A simple “Tap to WhatsApp” button removes friction and boosts the number of enquiries you receive.

Key benefits:

  • Faster than filling out a contact form

  • More personal and conversational

  • Helps you convert warm visitors before they leave the site

  • Ideal for small businesses with limited marketing budgets

 

Step-by-Step: How to Add WhatsApp to Your Website

1. Create a visual button or call-to-action

Use Canva to design a clean, branded image that stands out.
Examples:

  • “Message us on WhatsApp”

  • “Tap to Ask a Question”

  • “Need help? Chat on WhatsApp”

2. Upload the image to your website

Place it:

  • On your homepage

  • In the footer (so it appears on every page)

  • On key sales or enquiry pages
    Make sure it scales correctly on mobile.

3. Add your WhatsApp link

Use the official WhatsApp click-to-chat format:

https://wa.me/<countrycode><mobile number>

Remove the leading zero from your phone number.
Example format (not an actual number):

https://wa.me/353871234567

4. Add a pre-filled message (optional but helpful)

You can include a starting message, such as:

https://wa.me/353871234567?text=Hi%20there%2C%20I%20have%20a%20quick%20question.

This helps visitors get started and saves time for both sides.

5. Position it where it drives the most enquiries

Good locations include:

  • Product/service pages

  • High-traffic blog posts

  • Contact page

  • After key content, when a visitor is warm and ready to reach out

 

6. Test everything

Before going live:

  • Test the link on mobile and desktop

  • Check that the image loads fast

  • Make sure the link opens WhatsApp automatically

 

7. Track and measure results

Simple ways to monitor performance:

  • Count weekly WhatsApp enquiries

  • Ask new leads “How did you find us?”

  • Compare WhatsApp enquiries to contact form enquiries

  • Identify what pages drive the highest WhatsApp clicks
