NPA. Adding two new locations. What phone numbers to use?

[Ryan_V]

Hi everyone,

Our client wants to add two new locations. Not sure what phone number to use.
We have main phone 800 number, with no adders associated, and local phone numbers for locations which we do SEO for.

New two locations are not for SEO purposes. Client just want them to be listed on website and on major directories for now.

Understanding NPA importance:
Should we use main 800 for both locations? 
Should we get new phone numbers for each one?

Thanks

Hi Ryan

Usually you would want a unique phone number to those locations especially if they are serving two different areas. This also helps with the local SEO aspect to those locations as Google and other search engines verify contact information. Here is a great blog post from Moz on the subject. Hope this helps a bit more. Good luck!

Hi Patrick,

This is what we thought too. But client doesn't need the SEO service for these locations. And there's no CT and NJ area code numbers available with service we use (Kall8). So we need to decide either new 800 numbers, or main site number.

Hi Ryan,

if the client does not care rather not they are a local business and found for local purposes it should not matter how ever if you want to call that one location depending on their phone tree it would have to be modified.

Simply find a close number and or unique number for that secular location.

A suggestion that you use a separate service to get numbers I guarantee you that somebody has them. Level 3 as well as jive communications are companies I've used with great success getting phone numbers.  Hypothetically you could even go to http://www.phonebooth.com/  and see if they have numbers I know trillow uses level 3 and has a very wide selection of numbers

all the best,

Tom
