With .tel, you can:

• Control how people reach you, directly from your phone or computer
• Increase your search engine rankings
• Get found online without spending on creating, hosting, or maintaining a website
• Gain a powerful and effective mobile presence
• Make a profit on your .tel page with advertising

Over 50% of small businesses in the US don’t have a website, but they all want to be found online. A .tel domain offers a solution as a lightweight online presence that doesn’t require technical skills or extensive funds. For those businesses that have a website already, .tel is a mobile-optimized site and a way to promote other online resources and improve SEO rankings through back links. A .tel domain easily integrates into normal websites as a contact-us page, so when a business moves or changes phone numbers, their clients can still find them with an easily-updated .tel page.
