Use a button in the WordPress editor

  1. Create the link above and check the recipient.
  2. In the page editor, add a Buttons block and attach the copied URL to its button. Give it a label explaining why visitors should contact you.
  3. Save or update the page and test its public URL. For a snippet, use Custom HTML only where your plan and permissions allow it.

Check the result

Themes and editors can show different controls. If code or styles are filtered, use the native link rather than bypassing permissions. A page button appears on that page; site-wide placement needs a shared theme area. Check the mobile menu and accessibility too.
