š Conversion Tip Tuesday: Don't Make People Hunt for Your Contact Information
Someone finds your website.
They like what they see.
They're ready to ask a question.
Then they start searching for your phone number or email address.
That's friction.
And every extra step gives someone another opportunity to give up.
š Make Contact Easy
Your contact information should be easy to findānot hidden away like a secret.
Consider having a clear path to contact you from:
š Your homepage
š ļø Service pages
š± Mobile navigation
š Landing pages
š Your footer
And don't forget mobile users.
If someone is visiting your website from their phone, a tap-to-callĀ option can make contacting you dramatically easier.
šÆ Give People Options
Not everyone wants to contact a business the same way.
Depending on your business, consider offering:
š Call
š§ Email
š Contact form
š Schedule a consultation
š¬ Message
The key isn't having every option imaginable.
It's making the most appropriate next step obvious.
š¢ Real-World Example
Imagine a potential customer visits a service page.
At the bottom they see:
"For more information, please visit our Contact page."
Now they have to find the Contact page.
Instead, imagine:
Ready to Get Started?
Request Your Free Consultation ā
Or:
š Call Us Today
The second approach removes a step.
And removing steps is exactly what conversion optimization is about.
ā Quick Action Step
Open your website on your phone.
Start on your homepage.
Give yourself 10 secondsĀ to find how to contact the business.
Was it obvious?
Could you call with one tap?
Could you submit an inquiry without hunting through menus?
If not, you've found an easy opportunity to improve.
š” Pro Tip
Don't make visitors go back to the homepage to contact you.
If someone is reading a service page and decides they're interested, meet them where they are.
Give them a relevant next step right there.
Marketing Minute Takeaway
When someone is ready to contact you, don't make them work for it.
Make contact easy. Make the next step obvious.
Every bit of friction you remove creates another opportunity for a conversationāand potentially another customer.
