There seems to be at least three ways to do it:

Key:url

Key:website

Key:contact:website

The last one is not very common and Key:website occurs more often than Key:url.

The distinction between url=* and website=* is that the website key is intended for the official website of a feature, provided by the feature's operator themselves. The url key has no such restrictions.
