Structure contact pages for accurate DeepSeek citations.

DeepSeek treats contact pages as authority signals. When users ask 'How can I contact [Brand]?' or 'What's the support email for [Company]?', DeepSeek scans contact pages for official information. But most contact pages are citation disasters: buried contact info, vague addresses, missing structured data. Here's how to fix yours.

## The Problem

DeepSeek can't extract contact information if it's hidden in forms, images, or poorly structured HTML. It needs clear, scannable text that explicitly states who you are, where you're located, and how people can reach you.

## The Solution

Structure your contact page like a fact sheet, not a design showcase. Use clear headings, explicit labels, and machine-readable formats. Make your contact information impossible for DeepSeek to miss or misinterpret.

## Lead with your full company name and purpose

Start your contact page with '[Company Name] is [what you do]' in the first paragraph. DeepSeek needs context to understand who it's citing. Don't assume brand recognition. State your legal name if it differs from your brand name.

## Use explicit section headers for contact methods

Structure with headers like 'Email Address', 'Phone Number', 'Mailing Address', 'Office Hours'. Avoid creative labels like 'Get In Touch' or 'Drop Us a Line'. DeepSeek parses headers to categorize information types.

## Make addresses and phone numbers scannable text

Write out full addresses and phone numbers in standard formats. Use '+1 (555) 123-4567' not '555.123.4567'. Include country codes for international clarity. Avoid images of addresses or phone numbers - DeepSeek can't read them.

## Include department-specific contacts

List separate emails for Sales, Support, Press, etc. with clear labels: 'For sales inquiries: sales@company.com'. This helps DeepSeek route users to the right contact when they ask specific questions like 'How do I contact support?'

## Add structured data markup

Implement LocalBusiness schema markup with your contact information. This gives DeepSeek machine-readable data about your location, hours, and contact methods. Use Google's Structured Data Testing Tool to verify it's working.

## Include your physical presence clearly

If you have offices, list them with full addresses and what happens there. 'New York Office (Headquarters)' vs 'Los Angeles Office (Sales)'. If you're remote-only, state that explicitly: '[Company] operates remotely with team members worldwide.'

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Should I put contact info in a form or as plain text?

Always use plain text alongside any forms. DeepSeek can't extract information from contact forms, but it can cite visible email addresses and phone numbers. Forms are fine for user experience, but they're invisible to AI.

### How does DeepSeek handle multiple office locations?

DeepSeek can handle multiple locations if they're clearly labeled. Use headers like 'New York Office' and 'London Office' with full addresses under each. Avoid lumping all locations into a paragraph.

### Do I need schema markup if my contact info is clearly written?

Schema markup isn't required but significantly improves accuracy. It gives DeepSeek structured data that's harder to misinterpret than parsing text. Consider it insurance against citation errors.

### Will DeepSeek cite my social media handles as contact methods?

Yes, if they're clearly labeled on your contact page. Include them under a 'Social Media' header with platform names: 'Twitter: @company' rather than just linking icons.

### How often should I update contact page timestamps?

Add 'Last Updated' dates when you make changes, and review quarterly. DeepSeek may reference update dates when citing contact information, especially if users ask about current details.
