Landline is best
Many small businesses communicate via mobile phones and may not have a landline. To be considered by your customers and prospects as an established and trustworthy business, a landline can really help. If you have a mobile phone number on your website it gives the impression that you are a one man band and may put people off. Having a landline will give the illusion that you are bigger than you are and therefore a more attractive supplier for potential customers.
