Mobile Call Now & Map Buttons

78 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With 4,000 active installs, adoption is modest but well above the niche baseline, and the popularity score benefits from the rating quality rather than raw install numbers.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated as recently as May 2026 and explicitly tested against WordPress 6.9.4, the maintenance signal is strong and shows the developer is actively shipping.

User Rating

15/15

A 98 out of 100 from 18 reviews is excellent, though the small sample size means one or two unhappy users could swing the number significantly.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened in the tracked period means there is nothing to measure, which the system treats as neutral rather than positive, so support health is essentially unproven.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatible with WordPress 5.8 and up, tested on 6.9.4, and requiring only PHP 7.4, the plugin runs on the vast majority of currently maintained WordPress environments.

What It Does

Mobile Call Now & Map Buttons adds a tappable phone button and a Google Maps directions button that appear on mobile devices, letting visitors contact a business or pull up driving directions with a single tap. The plugin is narrowly scoped, so configuration is limited to swapping phone numbers, addresses, and basic styling rather than building out complex call-to-action systems. It is essentially a lightweight shortcut for the two most common mobile conversions for local businesses.

Who It's For

This plugin fits small local businesses that depend on phone calls and walk-in traffic, such as dental offices, plumbers, auto repair shops, restaurants, salons, and real estate agents. It is best for owners who want a dead-simple, set-it-and-forget-it widget without learning a full call-to-action or mapping suite. If your site already routes visitors through contact forms or online booking, the value drops considerably.

Who Should Skip It

If you need full-featured mapping with multiple locations, custom markers, store locators, or detailed analytics on button clicks, this plugin is too thin and you should look at a dedicated maps or CTA solution. Sites without a strong mobile call-driven conversion path, such as blogs, online stores with checkout funnels, or purely informational sites, also do not need it.

The Bottom Line

Mobile Call Now & Map Buttons does one thing well and is clearly maintained, making it a safe pick for any local business that wants quick mobile calls and directions without configuration overhead. The only meaningful gaps are the very small install base, the unproven support track record, and the lack of analytics or multi-location features. Treat it as a tidy utility, not a growth platform.

Pick this when you need full-featured maps with multiple locations, custom markers, and directions rather than just a single mobile button.

Call Now Button 86/100

Pick this when you only want a click-to-call button with stronger install base (200,000) and more granular scheduling, colour, and placement controls.

WP Store Locator 83/100

Pick this when you operate several branches and need a searchable store finder, which a single Map button cannot handle.

Responsive Menu 83/100

Pick this when your real mobile problem is the navigation menu itself rather than the call and directions actions.

AMP for WP 83/100

Pick this when your priority is mobile page speed and AMP delivery, not direct call or directions conversion.
