Add localbot to any website where you can edit the HTML source. This is the universal installation method.

Time: Under 2 minutes

Steps

Get your embed code

<script src="https://localbot.io/api/widget/YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>

Paste before the closing body tag

Open your website's HTML file in a text editor. Find the </body> tag (usually near the end of the file) and paste the embed code directly above it:

<!-- Your page content above -->

<script src="https://localbot.io/api/widget/YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>
</body>
</html>

Save and upload

Save the file and upload it to your server. If you're using a CMS or hosting panel, click Save/Publish.

Targeting a specific location

By default, localbot appends the form to the end of your page. To place it in a specific location, add an empty div with the ID localbot-contact:

<div id="localbot-contact"></div>

The widget will render inside this div instead of appending to the body.

Verify

Open your website in a browser. You should see the localbot form. Fill it out and check your phone. You should receive an SMS within 5 seconds.

If your site (or your CDN / reverse proxy) sends a Content-Security-Policy header, the browser will block the widget unless localbot.io is explicitly allowed. Add it to both script-src and connect-src:

Content-Security-Policy:
  script-src 'self' https://www.localbot.io;
  connect-src 'self' https://www.localbot.io;

If you are not sure whether you have a CSP, open your site, press F12, and look at Network → any page request → Response Headers. If you see content-security-policy, check that localbot.io appears in the script-src and connect-src directives.

Troubleshooting

Widget doesn't appear: Check that the script tag is before </body>, not inside <head>. Verify your widget ID is correct in the dashboard.
Widget script blocked or missing in Network tab: Most likely a CSP issue. See the "Content Security Policy" section above.
Form appears but no SMS: Make sure you've added your phone number in the dashboard setup.
Widget appears twice: Make sure you only have one script tag. The widget prevents double-loading, but check for duplicate inclusions.
