Now, you can display your business phone number on the Google search result page by using the structured data markup. This will help the searchers to quickly see the concerned business phone number without having the need to visit the contact us page. This will reduce the number of clicks and time spent of finding phone numbers.
Great! Google went another step ahead in returning direct answers, in this case a phone number of the concerned business. The support was announced by Google in a recent blog post.
