Adding a “Text Us” Button
Adding a “Text Us” Button
to Any Website — WordPress,
Squarespace, or Custom HTML
A “Text Us” button powered by a TextingOnly SmartLink converts website visitors into SMS contacts — mobile visitors go straight to SMS, desktop visitors get a QR bridge automatically. Here’s how to add it to any website in under 10 minutes.
Adding a “Text Us” button to your website is the highest-ROI 30 minutes you’ll spend with TextingOnly. A website button turns every page visitor into a potential SMS contact — with the SmartLink handling mobile vs. desktop detection automatically. No developer required.
Step 1: Get Your SmartLink URL
Adding to WordPress
In the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), add a Button block anywhere on the page or in the header/footer:
TextingOnly’s WordPress Plugin adds a “Text Us” widget automatically — no button block required. See the WordPress Plugin article for plugin-specific setup instructions.
Adding to Any Website (HTML)
For Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, or any site with a Custom HTML or Embed Code option:
<a href="YOUR_SMARTLINK_URL"
style="display:inline-block;background:#4a7aad;color:#fff;
font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;
padding:12px 24px;border-radius:4px;text-decoration:none;">
💬 Text Us
</a>
Replace YOUR_SMARTLINK_URL with your actual SmartLink URL from the collector settings.
Adding a Floating Text Button
A floating button stays visible as the user scrolls — higher visibility, more opt-ins. Add this code to your site’s footer or a Custom HTML widget that appears site-wide:
<a href="YOUR_SMARTLINK_URL"
style="position:fixed;bottom:24px;right:24px;z-index:9999;
background:#4a7aad;color:#fff;font-family:sans-serif;
font-size:14px;font-weight:600;padding:13px 20px;
border-radius:50px;text-decoration:none;
box-shadow:0 4px 16px rgba(0,0,0,.2);">
💬 Text Us
</a>
Floating buttons in the bottom-right corner have the highest tap rate. For pages with a dedicated CTA (like a contact page or pricing page), an inline button above the fold outperforms floating. Run both and compare conversion in your TextingOnly reports.
