Why your business needs a California area code
If you want to target Los Angeles 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 Angeles 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 Los Angeles or California area code.
The 323 area code in particular covers a significant Hispanic-American population, so if your business wants to reach this group of customers and prospects, you should look into getting a 323 number for your customer-facing or sales teams.
