There are several simple things that one can do on their site to stop a lot of headaces down the road. For simple sites, the majority of it is around email addresses.
Even though I hate to admit it, back in the day I would find target email addresses by doing things search engine searches like reservations@ and inquiries@. This would than pop up hundreds of emails that were specifically targeted to my target market of tourism. This allowed me to quickly find email addressees. Even though you cant do this on Google anymore, you can still do this on several other search engines. There are three simple ways to fix this which each have their own benefit.
Image
Instead of posting a link, post an image that shows your email address. Don't make the link a link to your email address because this will make it easy to find using a search engine. Make sure when you view the source you cant view the email address at all.
Change the text
This is a simple an easy quick fix that can be looked at as a temporary fix. Instead of writing support@noreply.com write, support (at) noreply (dot) com. Any human who reads this, understands that you have to replace the (at) with an @ and a (dot) with a . . Any search engine won't distinguish this from other text since these are normal symbols that are used.
Create an email form
Even though this involves the most work, it is also the most beneficial. A form allows you to hide your contact information, but it also allows you to ask for additional information, like the customers name and phone number. This key information, will allow you to cut off some communication time later on during your communication with them. The only problem you'll run into this way is bots automatically spamming your form. This can easily be stopped by adding a captcha into your email form. A captcha is an validation that the user has to type into the form in order to prove they are a human. If you think you won't run into this issue, your mistaken. You will most definitely get attacked by these bots eventually.
