Why your business needs a Sacramento area code
If you want to target Sacramento and the areas surrounding it, it makes sense to get a local number for that area code—even if your business isn’t located there.
Whether they’re in East Los Sacramento or South Gate, LA-adjacent California-based customers can dial you without worrying about long-distance charges. Plus, customers and prospects are more likely to answer local calls if you're using a local-looking phone number with a recognizable Sacramento area code.
Sacramento is the sixth biggest city in California, and hosts businesses like Blue Diamond Growers, Teichert, and The McClatchy Company. It's also a large cultural center, with the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sacramento Opera. Whether you're running a B2C or B2B company, there's a pretty large audience of potential customers here that you can reach, if your business is equipped with phone numbers with the local 279 area code.
