If you use Google Voice, you can embed it on your WordPress site using a widget so that visitors can call you directly from your page. Your Google account provides you with tools to create the widget, which contains a "Call" button that people click. Once clicked, Google Voice connects the caller to your Google number. WordPress provides you with a built-in "Widgets" feature that enables you to paste in your Google Voice widget code and display it where you want on your site.
