The click-to-call button makes it easy for patrons to call you with a single click.
Local Business. The local business mobile template uses an interactive Google Map and a click-to-call button to make it easy for your mobile customers to find and contact you.
Lead Generation. The lead generation mobile template lets you generate leads through a Google form and store them on a Google spreadsheet so you can follow up on qualified leads. You can also embed this form on your desktop site for people that aren’t visiting your mobile site.
Social. The social mobile template lets your customers socially engage with your business. Add the social button to link your mobile site to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
eCommerce. When you load the ecommerce template, you’ll see a placeholder Google Checkout button.
