How to Add Links, Buttons and Contact Info to Your Directory

Add clickable links, CTA buttons, phone numbers, and social media icons to your directory listings.

Make your listings actionable with clickable elements: website links, call-to-action buttons, tap-to-call phone numbers, and social media icons. Add these in Listing Fields.

A clickable text link to any URL (e.g., "Visit Website," "View Menu," "Apply Now").

  1. Add Field → Link
  2. Set the label (the text visitors see)
  3. Options: color, open in new tab

When editing a listing, paste the destination URL.

Buttons

A styled call-to-action button, more visually prominent than a plain link.

  1. Add Field → Button
  2. Set the label (button text like "Book Now" or "Get Quote")
  3. Options: color, open in new tab

When editing a listing, paste the destination URL.

Phone Numbers

A tap-to-call phone number. On mobile, tapping it opens the dialer.

  1. Add Field → Phone
  2. Set the label (e.g., "Phone," "Call Us")
  3. Options: color

When editing a listing, enter the phone number.

Social Media Icons

An icon linking to a social media profile. EmbedDirectory shows the platform's icon automatically.

  1. Add Field → Social Icon Link
  2. Set the label
  3. Choose the platform: Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, Podcast, or Other (custom SVG icon)
  4. Options: open in new tab

Add multiple social fields for different platforms. Each gets its own icon.

When editing a listing, paste the profile URL.

Shared Options

All fields in this group share these options:

Visibility: Results & details or Details only.

Open in new tab: available on links, buttons, and social icons. Opens the destination in a new browser tab.

Color: pick a color for the link text, button, phone number, or icon.

What Filters Work with These Fields

These fields are primarily for display and interaction, but they do work with:

  • Search Bar: link text, button labels, phone numbers, and social URLs are included in keyword search.
  • Toggle Filter: show only listings that have a value in this field (e.g., "Show only listings with a website").
