Step 3: Create Your WhatsApp Link (Correct Format)

WhatsApp uses the official wa.me format:

https://wa.me/yourphonenumber

Important Rules:

• Use international format
• Include country code
• Remove:
  • +
  • Spaces
  • Dashes
  • Brackets
  • Leading zeros

✅ Example:

If your number is:

+1 234 567 8900

Your link becomes:

https://wa.me/12345678900

---

Step 4 (Optional): Add a Pre-Filled Message

Want a message to appear automatically when someone clicks?

Use this format:

https://wa.me/12345678900?text=Hello%20I%20found%20your%20blog%20and%20need%20more%20information

✅ Replace spaces with %20
✅ Encode special characters properly

Example message:

Hello, I’m interested in your services

Becomes:

Hello%2C%20I%E2%80%99m%20interested%20in%20your%20services
