Contact Info Missing
Enterprise buyers need to reach you before purchasing. SaaSalyst detects whether your website includes discoverable contact information — email addresses, contact forms, or contact page links — that allow potential customers to engage with your team before and after purchase.
What SaaSalyst Checks
SaaSalyst scans your homepage for contact-related elements: links containing '/contact', 'mailto:' addresses, text matching 'contact us' or 'contact form', and email patterns like 'support@', 'help@', 'info@'. The scanner also checks for HTML forms with contact-related action attributes. Both inline links and dedicated contact pages are detected.
Why This Matters
Contact information is both a compliance requirement and a trust signal. GDPR Article 13 requires a data controller contact point, and many consumer protection laws require businesses to provide a way for customers to reach them.
From a business perspective, enterprise buyers always look for contact information during vendor evaluation. If they can't find a way to ask pre-sale questions, they move to a competitor who makes it easy.
Contact availability also signals product maturity. A SaaS product with no visible support channel suggests a hobby project rather than a business that stands behind its product.

How to Fix It
- Create a dedicated /contact page with a contact form, email address, and expected response time.
- Add contact links in your footer and navigation — both are standard locations where users expect to find them.
- Include a support email (support@yourdomain.com) that's monitored regularly. Consider using a helpdesk tool for tracking.
- For enterprise readiness, add a 'Talk to Sales' or 'Book a Demo' option alongside general contact information.
