39 Inspiring Examples of Contact Us Pages

Most contact pages are designed with function in mind.

They slap an email address, phone, and location on a plain background and call it a day.

But basic contact pages don’t inspire visitors to reach out and connect.

Other pages make it easy to contact the company – which is awesome.

Except, that can also drive up customer service costs.

So what makes the perfect Contact Us page?

An awesome Contact Us page finds just the right balance between making it easy to reach the company and sharing resources users can use to answer their questions right away.

Keep reading to discover 39 examples of Contact Us pages that go beyond the basics and will, hopefully, inspire you to take your site to the next level.

39 Awesome Contact Us Page Examples You Need to See

1. Broker Notes

At first glance, Broker Notes‘ contact page looks pretty bare.

There’s no graphics, no quirky copy, just a plain old contact form.

Great for UX, but not so great for inspiring users to reach out.

So what stands out on this page?

The drop-down menu under “How can we help you?” lets users share the reason they are contacting the site.

This makes it easier to sort through requests and respond to important contacts as soon as possible.

For example, if you select “I am a broker looking to advertise on Broker Notes,” it takes you to another form to share more information about your firm.

The little bar at the bottom lets you know how much time is left in the form, so users are less likely to get annoyed.

2. Sleeknote

Sleeknote uses a similar format to Broker Notes – they ask how they can help and provide links to book a demo or become a partner.

If the user needs something else, they are invited to fill out the contact form.

contact us page sleeknote

Another feature that stands out is Sleeknote’s live chat option, where users can reach out to learn more about what they offer or ask questions.

Making it easy to find information serves two purposes. It:

  • Helps the customer find what they need.
  • Reduces the number of contacts the brand has to manage.

In other words, it’s a win-win.

3. Yeti

Yeti‘s contact us page stands out for several reasons.

First, they offer a beautiful (and on-brand) photo background. It is striking without drawing away from the copy.

Advertisement

The copy is a bit cheeky, “While we’re good with smoke signals, there are simpler ways for us to get in touch.”

contact us page yeti

Below the fold, Yeti offers a range of resources, including product FAQs, info on warranties, and links to check gift card balances.

But they also don’t bury the contact info, which would just frustrate users.

Clicking on the “Send us an email” button takes you right to the contact form.

It’s easy to find but not too easy to find. (Which also helps keep away those pesky bots.)

4. BrightLocal

BrightLocal keeps their contact page simple but personalizes it with the names and faces of their support team.

Advertisement

This helps users feel like they are connecting with real people, not just a faceless brand.

contact us page brightlocal

They also ask if users are a current customer, which lets them provide better service by understanding whether a contact is likely to have a question or need service.

5. RedBull

There’s a lot to love about RedBull‘s website, but their contact page really stands out.

Like Yeti, they use a striking image in the background.

They also provide a category drop-down so users can share what they need help with.

contact us page redbull

Just below the standard contact form, they provide a special form just for Press members, which is a nice touch (and likely cuts down on the number of press requests they get through their regular contact form!)

Advertisement

6. Chipotle

Chipotle‘s contact page starts off strong with a casual tone that fits with their corporate branding: “You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers on anything Chipotle.”

The page then offers an expansive list of FAQs (which, again, helps keep those contacts to a minimum).

contact us page chipotle

There are two things I really love about this page.

First, they get all up in your face to let you know that response times are longer than normal.

Yay for setting expectations.

But they also have a chatbot that helps people navigate the FAQs.

Advertisement

Chipotle strikes the perfect balance between limiting the number of emails and still providing great customer service.

7. MeUndies

If fun undies are your jam, then you’ll want to check out MeUndies.

The brand offers a fun vibe, and it shows on their contact us page.

Like most other brands, they try to steer users to their help center first.

contact us page me undies

Can’t find what you need?

They make it easy to reach out to their “CheekSquad” by chat, email, text, or social.

contact us page me undies 2

8. Podia

How many times have you reached out to customer support and spent days waiting for a response?

Podia starts out by highlighting their short wait time, which is really smart – especially as many people are working remotely these days.

contact us page podia

They also share live chat hours and pictures of their support team to remind customers they’ll be talking to a real live person.

contact us page podia 2

9. The Middle Finger Project

If you are looking for a book about getting unstuck and ridding yourself of imposter syndrome, I can’t recommend this book enough.

But, we’re here to talk about contact pages.

So, here’s The Middle Finger Project’s contact page:

Advertisement

contact us page tmfp

Form-wise, it’s not super exciting, right?

But I love the cheeky language and “What I really want to say is…” and the send button:

contact us page tmfp 2

I’m not sure what the average speed of a pack of wolves is, but it sounds good.

Who said contact pages had to be boring, anyway?

10. Brands to life

Brands to life is an Australian-based branding and creative agency that helps, well, bring brands to life.

They have a unique brand that is simple and straightforward.

Advertisement

Their contact page includes all the standard information — name, location, email, and so forth.

contact us page brands to life

The page feels plain, but it fits with the rest of their site and their overall branding, which lets the user know who the brand is and what they can expect.

This just goes to show that contact pages don’t have to be fancy – especially if your brand’s personality is simple.

11. Kick Point

Kick Point does a great job of weeding out people they don’t want to work with right from the start – “Don’t address your email to us “Dear Sirs.” is a pretty strong statement to have top and center on your contact form!

contact us page kick point

A bit further down the contact page, the team shares how long they take to respond.

It’s all relatable and on-brand.

Advertisement

I dig it.

12. Leeds Golf Centre

What does a golf course have to teach us about creating an awesome contact page?

First, they make it easy to book online, which is likely the main reason folks head to their website.

Smart.

contact us page leeds golf centre

A bit further down they list all their contact info – phone, email, even fax.

But what really stands out is their contact form, which features a nifty little checkbox for folks to sign up for their newsletter.

Advertisement

contact us page leeds golf centre

Users have to check the box – they aren’t being sneaky – but it’s an easy way to increase newsletter sign-ups.

13. Nebular

Nebular is a U.S.-based digital development agency.

Their website is bold and loud, and their contact page sticks to that theme.

contact us page nebular

The self-deprecating humor shows off who they are as a business in just a few lines and the bold colors are carried over from the rest of the site.

Simple, but effective.

14. Basecamp

Who is on the other end of that contact form?

Advertisement

With some companies, you’ll never know.

Basecamp, however, shows off their teams smiling (though drawn) faces right at the top of the contact form.

contact us page basecamp

They also include links to sign up, learn more about their offerings, and pricing.

As a result, their contact page feels welcoming and easy to use.

15. ConvertKit

ConvertKit is known for its automated email service tools designed to help customers get the most out of their marketing.

Their contact page highlights one of their main goals – customer success.

Advertisement

contact us page convertkit

Just below the hero image, customers can click to visit the knowledge base, reach out to support, or learn the basics in their workshops.

And, like many other brands, they offer live chat right on the contact page which can help reduce customer frustration by helping them find the info they need right away.

16. Moon Pie

Moon Pie has one of my favorite brand Twitter accounts (seriously, check it out), so I was going to go check out their contact page for this list.

Sadly, there was none of the tongue in cheek charm to be found on their contact page, but it is incredibly well laid out.

For starters, they offer easy links to call or contact each of the brand’s locations — and show where to place wholesale orders.

contact us page moon pie

A bit further down they share FAQs such as “Where can I find MoonPies in my area.” and “Are MoonPies kosher?”

Advertisement

Only after sharing that information do they give you a contact form.

The contact form isn’t hidden at all – but they sure do everything they can to answer your questions before giving you the contact form.

17. Taco Bell

Here’s another brand known for its snarky social presence.

Like MoonPies, Taco Bell keeps it direct but casual on their contact page.

They ask for contact information and try to direct users to their FAQ pages first.

contact us page tacobell

What really stands out is Taco Bell lets customers choose how to get a response – including an option for “No reply needed.”

Advertisement

This makes me feel like there’s a good chance they’ll actually respond to me.

18. Focus Lab

Here’s the thing – contact pages need to be functional.

If you get too crazy with the design, you might just end up frustrating users.

But, just because it has to work doesn’t mean it can’t be creative.

Focus Lab created this awesome interactive contact form that allows users to share their name, needs, and budget (which is critical for client work).

contact us page focus lab

It is unique, which is part of its brand appeal.

Advertisement

And if the form feels like too much, you can scroll down just a bit further to find their email, location, and social accounts.

19. 99Designs

Contact pages often end up as a catch-all box – which can be time-consuming to sort through.

99Designs solves that problem by separating requests based on need with one link for help requests and a separate page for PR inquiries.

contact us page 99designs

If your support times are way down, it might be worth looking for ways to segment your contact form into separate inboxes.

20. Freshbooks

Freshbooks use their contact page to drive home one of their selling points – great customer support.

They don’t offer an email support form, but rather encourage customers to call and talk to a real, live person.

Advertisement

contact us page freshbooks

In a world of chatbots and email forms, this is pretty refreshing!

They also highlight what they offer and invite users to learn more about everything their software has to offer.

It’s almost a half landing page/half contact page.  And if you expect a lot of non-customers will end up on your contact page, this is a good strategy.

22. Five

Now, I may be partial to Five’s contact us page (full disclosure: I’ve worked with them in the past), but I’m obsessed with its drop-down feature from the main navigation.

contact us page five

As you hover over the navigation at the top, this drop-down appears on every page of the website, making it easy for users to ask questions wherever they are on the site.

23. Xbox

My favorite piece of the Xbox contact page is the “Disability answer desk.”

Advertisement

I have yet to see another company add this feature to their contact us page.

contact us page xbox

As accessibility grows in importance for SEO, I’m hoping we will start to see more brands feature these types of contact options.

Thanks for leading the charge, Xbox!

24. Zendesk

Zendesk is giving us Matrix-style vibes with their choice to choose between speaking with a sales member or browsing the help center.

Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?

contact us page zendesk

This is a common practice I’m beginning to see trending in the SaaS space.

Advertisement

As companies reduce overhead or work with minimum employees, they are forcing you to find the answer yourself within the help center.

But, if you want to buy, you have the opportunity to speak to a human.

25. Dollar Shave Club

While I was hoping for a unicorn or some sort of sarcasm while scanning Dollar Shave Club’s contact page, I was pleasantly surprised to find this interactive contact us page.

Contact us page dollar shave club

Dollar Shave Club merges the help center with their contact us page based on your query.

26. Kinsta

Kinsta, a premium WordPress hosting company, is one of my personal favorite WordPress hosting companies.

Mostly because I’ve seen page speed triple its performance after migrating to Kinsta.

Advertisement

contact us page kinsta

But, Kinsta’s WordPress hosting isn’t the only thing I’m in love with.

Kinsta’s contact page answers questions directly while providing a direct email address and live chat.

Full disclosure: I have provided copywriting services for Kinsta in the past. 

27. Swab the World

Swab the World is becoming one of my favorite websites, mostly for its quirky copy.

You can see in Swab the World’s contact page, they convey their conversational tone even in the minimal copy on the page.

Contact us pages swab the world

Plus, I love the shout out to snail mail. Does anyone still love getting snail mail? 🙋‍♀️

Advertisement

28. Shopify

Shopify serves up a friendly contact us page with a warm welcoming smile in the visuals.

More importantly, Shopify breaks down the sections of support you may need.

contact us page Shopify

Shopify highlights its community forums, help center, and contact information for support.

Notice the arrangement?

It’s signaling to users to seek help from the forum, then the help center, until finally, you need support from a human.

29. Trello

Similar to Shopify, Trello calls out their Trello Community to help users gain support.

Advertisement

As more customers begin to use your services or product, it’s helpful to provide additional support from other users who may have experienced the same issue.

contact us page trello

Still, when all else fails, users are able to contact Trello’s support team directly.

30. PayPal

PayPal’s customer service identifies the common queries it receives with its contact us page.

You can see below PayPal highlights issues with passwords, payments, donations, disputes, etc.

contact us page paypal

However, if you are still unable to find a solution, PayPal shares additional links to help its users find their answers quickly.

32. Ben & Jerry’s

While Ben & Jerry’s is one of my favorite ice cream brands (shout out to Phish Food lovers!), Ben & Jerry’s website design and copy have always been on the top of my list.

Advertisement

contact us page ben & jerrys

Again, similar to PayPal, Ben & Jerry’s provides an FAQ section with the most common questions asked to help speed up the response time.

33. Friends

The crew at Friends stays true to its brand with the monotone colors and playful copy.

contact us friends agency

As you continue to scroll down the contact us page, Friends shares a peek inside its multiple offices to give potential clients insight into what daily life is like at Friends.

contact us pages friends 2

34. Bite Size Entertainment

Bite Size Entertainment took an interesting spin on its contact us page.

Instead of including a form, they use an interactive map embed to highlight restaurants, bars, and coffee shops near its office.

contact us pages bite size Bite Size Entertainment shows its personality by using inspiring copy like “your future dream job,” and getting personal with “talk over coffee.”

Even on its contact us page, the conversational tone is carried throughout the website.

Advertisement

35. Poo-Pourri

After listening to a podcast with Suzy Batiz a few years back, I’ve been a big fan of the Poo-Pourri copy.

They play directly into their target audience as you can see in the live chat, “Tell us a bit about your stinkin’ self.”

contact us pages poo pourri

36. Squatty Potty

Squatty Potty became a big deal after it’s premiere on Shark Tank and this YouTube commercial that went viral.

But, Squatty Potty’s unique sense of humor and love for 💩 isn’t the only thing I love about this brand.

Squatty Potty’s contact us page is one you’ll want to take a peek at.

 

Advertisement

contact us pages squatty potty

Not only does Squatty Potty provide a contact form, but they include an organized FAQ section below to help answer your questions faster.

contact us pages squatty potty 2

37. Velocity

Velocity is a B2B marketing agency that has been making me chuckle with its website copy for years.

It plays into its own services by acknowledging that if you land on this page, you’re in the “later stages of the B2B purchase journey.”

contact us page velocity

If you’re an SEO professional, you’ll love the way Velocity added directions to its offices sending tons of local signals to the SERPs by acknowledging specific train stations, cinemas, bridges, and more.

contact us page velocity

38. Ann Handley

Ann Handley has long been a fan favorite of the Search Engine Journal team.

But we’re not just fans of Ann’s storytelling.

Advertisement

Her contact us page nails it again.

contact us pages ann handley

After Ann charms you with her copy above, she dives into specifics on how to email her to get a quicker response.

contact us pages ann handley

 

39. Pit Viper Sunglasses

I have to admit, I bought a pair of these sunglasses based only on the website design and copy of Pit Vipers.

Between its borderline rude and snarky website copy and use of comic sans font, it’s difficult as an SEO nerd to not want to buy from this site.

contact us pit vipers

Contact Us Pages Are the Tattoos of Your Site

It’s sad but true, contact us pages are the tattoos of your website.

Advertisement

You know they are there, but you probably forgot to take care of them and touch them up.

Contact pages need to put function first. But, as these examples show, contact pages don’t have to be boring.

Don’t be afraid to make your page fun with beautiful photos, interactive elements, and quirky copywriting that show off your brand’s personality.

How Compression Can Be Used To Detect Low Quality Pages

Published

on

By

Compression can be used by search engines to detect low-quality pages. Although not widely known, it's useful foundational knowledge for SEO.

The concept of Compressibility as a quality signal is not widely known, but SEOs should be aware of it. Search engines can use web page compressibility to identify duplicate pages, doorway pages with similar content, and pages with repetitive keywords, making it useful knowledge for SEO.

Although the following research paper demonstrates a successful use of on-page features for detecting spam, the deliberate lack of transparency by search engines makes it difficult to say with certainty if search engines are applying this or similar techniques.

What Is Compressibility?

In computing, compressibility refers to how much a file (data) can be reduced in size while retaining essential information, typically to maximize storage space or to allow more data to be transmitted over the Internet.

TL/DR Of Compression

Compression replaces repeated words and phrases with shorter references, reducing the file size by significant margins. Search engines typically compress indexed web pages to maximize storage space, reduce bandwidth, and improve retrieval speed, among other reasons.

This is a simplified explanation of how compression works:

  • Identify Patterns:
    A compression algorithm scans the text to find repeated words, patterns and phrases
  • Shorter Codes Take Up Less Space:
    The codes and symbols use less storage space then the original words and phrases, which results in a smaller file size.
  • Shorter References Use Less Bits:
    The “code” that essentially symbolizes the replaced words and phrases uses less data than the originals.

A bonus effect of using compression is that it can also be used to identify duplicate pages, doorway pages with similar content, and pages with repetitive keywords.

Research Paper About Detecting Spam

This research paper is significant because it was authored by distinguished computer scientists known for breakthroughs in AI, distributed computing, information retrieval, and other fields.

Advertisement

Marc Najork

One of the co-authors of the research paper is Marc Najork, a prominent research scientist who currently holds the title of Distinguished Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He’s a co-author of the papers for TW-BERT, has contributed research for increasing the accuracy of using implicit user feedback like clicks, and worked on creating improved AI-based information retrieval (DSI++: Updating Transformer Memory with New Documents), among many other major breakthroughs in information retrieval.

Dennis Fetterly

Another of the co-authors is Dennis Fetterly, currently a software engineer at Google. He is listed as a co-inventor in a patent for a ranking algorithm that uses links, and is known for his research in distributed computing and information retrieval.

Those are just two of the distinguished researchers listed as co-authors of the 2006 Microsoft research paper about identifying spam through on-page content features. Among the several on-page content features the research paper analyzes is compressibility, which they discovered can be used as a classifier for indicating that a web page is spammy.

Detecting Spam Web Pages Through Content Analysis

Although the research paper was authored in 2006, its findings remain relevant to today.

Then, as now, people attempted to rank hundreds or thousands of location-based web pages that were essentially duplicate content aside from city, region, or state names. Then, as now, SEOs often created web pages for search engines by excessively repeating keywords within titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal anchor text, and within the content to improve rankings.

Section 4.6 of the research paper explains:

Advertisement

“Some search engines give higher weight to pages containing the query keywords several times. For example, for a given query term, a page that contains it ten times may be higher ranked than a page that contains it only once. To take advantage of such engines, some spam pages replicate their content several times in an attempt to rank higher.”

The research paper explains that search engines compress web pages and use the compressed version to reference the original web page. They note that excessive amounts of redundant words results in a higher level of compressibility. So they set about testing if there’s a correlation between a high level of compressibility and spam.

They write:

“Our approach in this section to locating redundant content within a page is to compress the page; to save space and disk time, search engines often compress web pages after indexing them, but before adding them to a page cache.

…We measure the redundancy of web pages by the compression ratio, the size of the uncompressed page divided by the size of the compressed page. We used GZIP …to compress pages, a fast and effective compression algorithm.”

High Compressibility Correlates To Spam

The results of the research showed that web pages with at least a compression ratio of 4.0 tended to be low quality web pages, spam. However, the highest rates of compressibility became less consistent because there were fewer data points, making it harder to interpret.

Figure 9: Prevalence of spam relative to compressibility of page.

The researchers concluded:

Advertisement

“70% of all sampled pages with a compression ratio of at least 4.0 were judged to be spam.”

But they also discovered that using the compression ratio by itself still resulted in false positives, where non-spam pages were incorrectly identified as spam:

“The compression ratio heuristic described in Section 4.6 fared best, correctly identifying 660 (27.9%) of the spam pages in our collection, while misidentifying 2, 068 (12.0%) of all judged pages.

Using all of the aforementioned features, the classification accuracy after the ten-fold cross validation process is encouraging:

95.4% of our judged pages were classified correctly, while 4.6% were classified incorrectly.

More specifically, for the spam class 1, 940 out of the 2, 364 pages, were classified correctly. For the non-spam class, 14, 440 out of the 14,804 pages were classified correctly. Consequently, 788 pages were classified incorrectly.”

The next section describes an interesting discovery about how to increase the accuracy of using on-page signals for identifying spam.

Insight Into Quality Rankings

The research paper examined multiple on-page signals, including compressibility. They discovered that each individual signal (classifier) was able to find some spam but that relying on any one signal on its own resulted in flagging non-spam pages for spam, which are commonly referred to as false positive.

Advertisement

The researchers made an important discovery that everyone interested in SEO should know, which is that using multiple classifiers increased the accuracy of detecting spam and decreased the likelihood of false positives. Just as important, the compressibility signal only identifies one kind of spam but not the full range of spam.

The takeaway is that compressibility is a good way to identify one kind of spam but there are other kinds of spam that aren’t caught with this one signal. Other kinds of spam were not caught with the compressibility signal.

This is the part that every SEO and publisher should be aware of:

“In the previous section, we presented a number of heuristics for assaying spam web pages. That is, we measured several characteristics of web pages, and found ranges of those characteristics which correlated with a page being spam. Nevertheless, when used individually, no technique uncovers most of the spam in our data set without flagging many non-spam pages as spam.

For example, considering the compression ratio heuristic described in Section 4.6, one of our most promising methods, the average probability of spam for ratios of 4.2 and higher is 72%. But only about 1.5% of all pages fall in this range. This number is far below the 13.8% of spam pages that we identified in our data set.”

So, even though compressibility was one of the better signals for identifying spam, it still was unable to uncover the full range of spam within the dataset the researchers used to test the signals.

Combining Multiple Signals

The above results indicated that individual signals of low quality are less accurate. So they tested using multiple signals. What they discovered was that combining multiple on-page signals for detecting spam resulted in a better accuracy rate with less pages misclassified as spam.

Advertisement

The researchers explained that they tested the use of multiple signals:

“One way of combining our heuristic methods is to view the spam detection problem as a classification problem. In this case, we want to create a classification model (or classifier) which, given a web page, will use the page’s features jointly in order to (correctly, we hope) classify it in one of two classes: spam and non-spam.”

These are their conclusions about using multiple signals:

“We have studied various aspects of content-based spam on the web using a real-world data set from the MSNSearch crawler. We have presented a number of heuristic methods for detecting content based spam. Some of our spam detection methods are more effective than others, however when used in isolation our methods may not identify all of the spam pages. For this reason, we combined our spam-detection methods to create a highly accurate C4.5 classifier. Our classifier can correctly identify 86.2% of all spam pages, while flagging very few legitimate pages as spam.”

Key Insight:

Misidentifying “very few legitimate pages as spam” was a significant breakthrough. The important insight that everyone involved with SEO should take away from this is that one signal by itself can result in false positives. Using multiple signals increases the accuracy.

What this means is that SEO tests of isolated ranking or quality signals will not yield reliable results that can be trusted for making strategy or business decisions.

Takeaways

We don’t know for certain if compressibility is used at the search engines but it’s an easy to use signal that combined with others could be used to catch simple kinds of spam like thousands of city name doorway pages with similar content. Yet even if the search engines don’t use this signal, it does show how easy it is to catch that kind of search engine manipulation and that it’s something search engines are well able to handle today.

Here are the key points of this article to keep in mind:

Advertisement
  • Doorway pages with duplicate content is easy to catch because they compress at a higher ratio than normal web pages.
  • Groups of web pages with a compression ratio above 4.0 were predominantly spam.
  • Negative quality signals used by themselves to catch spam can lead to false positives.
  • In this particular test, they discovered that on-page negative quality signals only catch specific types of spam.
  • When used alone, the compressibility signal only catches redundancy-type spam, fails to detect other forms of spam, and leads to false positives.
  • Combing quality signals improves spam detection accuracy and reduces false positives.
  • Search engines today have a higher accuracy of spam detection with the use of AI like Spam Brain.

Google publishes new documentation for how to use Google Trends for search marketing

Google Search Central published new documentation on Google Trends, explaining how to use it for search marketing. This guide serves as an easy to understand introduction for newcomers and a helpful refresher for experienced search marketers and publishers.

The new guide has six sections:

  1. About Google Trends
  2. Tutorial on monitoring trends
  3. How to do keyword research with the tool
  4. How to prioritize content with Trends data
  5. How to use Google Trends for competitor research
  6. How to use Google Trends for analyzing brand awareness and sentiment

The section about monitoring trends advises there are two kinds of rising trends, general and specific trends, which can be useful for developing content to publish on a site.

Using the Explore tool, you can leave the search box empty and view the current rising trends worldwide or use a drop down menu to focus on trends in a specific country. Users can further filter rising trends by time periods, categories and the type of search. The results show rising trends by topic and by keywords.

To search for specific trends users just need to enter the specific queries and then filter them by country, time, categories and type of search.

The section called Content Calendar describes how to use Google Trends to understand which content topics to prioritize.

Advertisement

Google explains:

“Google Trends can be helpful not only to get ideas on what to write, but also to prioritize when to publish it. To help you better prioritize which topics to focus on, try to find seasonal trends in the data. With that information, you can plan ahead to have high quality content available on your site a little before people are searching for it, so that when they do, your content is ready for them.”
