Contact information

Contact information is one of the most trusted signals on a website. Visitors who find clear, accurate contact details are more likely to convert into customers.

What contact information to include

At minimum: business name, email address, phone number, and physical address (if you have a premises). Service-area businesses without a physical location should state their service area clearly.

Adding a contact form is essential � it gives visitors a way to reach you without leaving your site. Include your business hours, especially if they differ on weekends or holidays.

Where to place contact information

Your contact page should be linked from the main navigation. The phone number should be prominent in the header or hero section on mobile. The footer should include all essential contact details on every page.

Local businesses benefit from having their address and phone number in a consistent format across the website, matching exactly what appears on their Google Business Profile and directory listings.

Common mistakes

No contact page � Visitors cannot find how to reach you. This is the most common trust-killer for small business sites.

Inconsistent NAP � Different versions of your Name, Address, and Phone number on different pages confuse search engines and hurt local SEO.

Outdated information � A phone number that no longer works or an old address erodes trust immediately.

Missing email privacy � Displaying email addresses in plain text invites spam. Use a contact form or obfuscate the email.

Legal requirements

Irish law requires certain businesses to display their company registration number, VAT number, and registered address. Check with your legal advisor for your specific obligations.
