If you use a landing page with a make offer contact form where a user clicks on the Make offer button to submit an inquiry/offer, do you think that adding an email address on the landing page could also be beneficial?

So instead of a potential buyer filling out the form they can send an email instead?

Has anyone found this to be successful and would you advise it?

It's a good way to pick up spam if you don't protect the address.

I don't as that's the point of the contact form and it works just fine. If I was to do that I would post it as an image to eliminate it being picked up by spam harvester bots.

Nobody likes being contacted by bots who are scraping the web for email address to spam

We also provide phone number verification via the Google phone API so any offers sent via our landing pages are definitely human!

Even with a contact form one will still get spam contacts - people who are trying to submit links to spam websites, teenagers playing games, individuals submitting offers in foreign currencies rather than USD, people looking for a job or real estate or bitcoin and who are trying to get info. Putting in minimum offers and disregarding those who do not confirm offers reduces time wasters.

I do yes have an email address on my landing page contact form
www.xynames.com/contact.html
the spammers have not found this page yet. And sometimes I do get offers via direct email.

I have a test landing page on a different domain, and the spammers have found that page but they use it to send 'bot submissions forms, not spam emails.

My emails are forwarded to a yhoo email address which nicely filters out nearly 100% of all spam anyway, automatically.
