M obile Widgets Increase Business
Yellow Cab Taxi, Los Angeles based cab company,
approached a web developer about creating a mobile site for their business. Identifying the key needs Yellow Cab Taxi mobile visitors would need, a click-to-call widget was inserted into the mobile site to ensure instant communication between the cab driver and the customer was made.
The strategic placement of the click-to-call widget just below the header of Yellow Cab Taxi’s mobile website increased the chances of site visitors placing a call, which in turn, caused more clicks.
In a matter of seven short months since the mobile website was built, Yellow Cab Taxi received over 9,000 visits to their site. During this seven-month period, they also received over 5,000 clicks on the click-to-call button. Each click resulted in a direct call to the business.

Sitting above the industry standard, Yellow Cab Taxi’s click-to-call rate is 77%. Converting their desktop site to a mobile-friendly website had increased business by turning more site visitors into happy cab riders.
