Copy stat ## Summary A couple in their fifties wants to talk to someone about retirement. On a weeknight they open the websites of three local financial advisors. One has a short form asking for name, email, phone and "what would you like to discuss?". The other two show an office phone number and an address, and nothing else they can use before morning. For a financial advisor, the first contact is where trust starts. A contact form lets a prospective client reach out at their own pace, at any hour, without the pressure of a first phone call about their money. Each field on it is a question they have to answer before the advisor hears from them, and personal financial questions asked too early can make a visitor stop. **43.3%** of financial advisor websites offer no contact form, no online booking and no live chat on their main pages. The advisors who do have a form keep it short: a median of 5 fields, the shortest of the 6 industries. ## What we measured In September 2026 we checked the websites of 215 US financial advisors listed on Google Business Profiles, looking at each homepage and up to two linked pages. On each site we found the largest contact form and counted its fields, and we recorded whether the site had a tap-to-call link, online booking or live chat. 92 of the 215 financial advisor websites had a contact form. We compared financial advisors with five other industries: real estate, insurance, home services, SaaS and law firms. A field is any box, dropdown, checkbox or text area a visitor can fill in, such as name, email, phone or "what would you like to discuss?". We counted only forms with three or more fields, which leaves out search bars and newsletter sign-ups. The median is the middle form: half ask for fewer fields, half for more. ## Four in ten advisor websites offer only a phone number 43.3% of financial advisor websites offer no contact form, online booking or live chat. On those sites, a prospective client who is ready to reach out can only call during office hours or copy an email address. Someone researching advisors in the evening, after work, has to wait until the next day and make a phone call they may be nervous about. 42.8% of financial advisor websites have a contact form with three or more fields on their homepage or main pages. 51.6% have a tap-to-call link, a phone number that dials when tapped on a mobile phone, and 2.3% run live chat. Have a contact form by website platform WordPress 50.8% Other or unidentified platforms 42.4% Source: Suff Digital analysis of 215 US financial advisor websites and 92 contact forms · financial advisor websites listed on Google Business Profiles, September 2026 Advisor websites built on WordPress have a contact form 50.8% of the time, against 42.4% on other or unidentified platforms. WordPress forms are also slightly longer, with a median of 6 fields against 5. ## Financial advisors have the shortest contact forms The median financial advisor form asks for 5 fields and the average is 6.6, the shortest of the 6 industries on both measures. 22.8% of advisor forms ask for 7 or more fields, the lowest share of the 6 industries and less than half the 55.3% of real estate forms. Forms with 7 or more fields by industry Real estate 55.3% Home services 47.2% SaaS 42.7% Insurance 40.8% Law firms 36.9% Financial advisors 22.8% | Industry | Median fields | Forms with 7 or more fields | | --- | --- | --- | | Real estate | 7 | 55.3% | | Home services | 6 | 47.2% | | SaaS | 6 | 42.7% | | Insurance | 6 | 40.8% | | Law firms | 6 | 36.9% | | Financial advisors | 5 | 22.8% | Short forms make sense for advisors. The first step in an advisory relationship is a conversation, and the detailed questions about income, assets and goals belong in that meeting, not on a web form a stranger fills in before they have decided to trust the firm. ## Most advisor forms look alike 56.5% of financial advisor forms ask for 5 or 6 fields, and half ask for exactly 5 or 6. One in ten asks for 8 or more, and 6.5% ask for 15 or more. That makes advisor forms the most uniform of the 6 industries: most advisors ask for the same handful of details. Share of financial advisor forms by fields on the form 3 to 4 20.7% 5 to 6 56.5% 7 to 9 15.2% 10 to 14 1.1% 15 or more 6.5% The small group of very long forms, 6.5% with 15 or more fields, are closer to full client questionnaires than contact forms. Asking a stranger for account sizes and investment goals before a first call asks for trust the firm has not yet earned. ## What this means for financial advisors If your website has no contact form on the homepage and main service pages, add one next to your phone number, and consider a booking link for a free introductory call. Name, email, phone and a short note on what the visitor wants to discuss are enough to start the conversation. Keep financial details for the first meeting. If you use a longer questionnaire, send it after the introductory call, when the prospective client has met you and has a reason to fill it in. Reply to every form within one business day, and say so on the form. Then test the page on a phone the way a prospective client would, from your homepage to a sent message. Our conversion optimization services (https://www.suffdigital.com/services/cro) measure where visitors drop off and test the form and page changes that bring in more first meetings. ## Embed this research Paste this on your site to embed the charts.
