Omni Presents - Search, AI, and Web Deep-Dives

Today we're talking about something hiding in plain sight on your website — a tiny line of code behind every clickable phone number that most business owners have never thought about. Get it wrong, and calls fail silently. No error. No warning. You just never hear from that customer.
