Do I Need An 0204 Number?

If you are based in the Greater London area or you’d like to establish a presence there, an 0204 number would benefit your business.

However, there is no need to switch from the numbers that you already own. The London numbers that you already use will remain operational, meaning changing to 0204 numbers isn’t necessary.

Choosing an 0204 number now allows you to move ahead of your competition and further establish your business in the London area.

Why Choose A Geographic Number?

A geographic number can be extremely beneficial to a business owner for a variety of reasons, such as:

• Local presence can be established
• Trusted by customers based in the area
• Calls to these numbers are usually free for customers
• Local numbers can be used, even if your office is elsewhere

Establishing a local presence

With geographic numbers, you are able to establish yourself in an area. Anyone who comes across your number will know where you are based, which can be beneficial for some businesses. For example, restaurants and plumbers providing a service in a particular area will want customers to know where they’re based.

Trusted by customers locally

A local number goes a long way towards encouraging existing and potential customers to trust you.

Plenty of customers will want to buy from locally-based businesses because they trust businesses based in their area. A geographic number allows you to demonstrate that you’re based in the area and garner trust.

Calls to geographic numbers are usually free

Typically, calls to geographic numbers will be free for customers or will come out of their inclusive minutes or call bundle. On the other hand, some non-geographic numbers can be costly to call.

If customers see two businesses offering the same service and they can phone one for free, which do you think they’d phone?

You can use local numbers whether you’re in the area or not

You can own and use local numbers, even if you aren’t in the area that the area code is assigned to. For example, you can be based in Leeds but have London numbers for your business.

If you are targeting a specific city or town, you should always choose a geographic number. Customers perceive companies with local numbers as being just around the corner, so they think you can meet their requirements quicker than a non-local business.
