I will focus on the basics first, publish genuinely helpful content, improve site speed, earn a few relevant backlinks, and keep your business information clear and consistent. Trust builds over time through quality and consistency.
What's been the biggest challenge for your new website so far getting traffic, rankings, or backlinks?

For a new website, the best way to build trust is by creating genuine value. Publish helpful, original content, add proper About and Contact pages, show real author details, keep the site secure, earn quality backlinks, and provide a smooth user experience. Trust takes time, so focus on consistency and building credibility with your audience.

When it comes to establishing trustworthiness on a new website, being consistent is more important than. taking any short-cuts. Brand signals like the creation of an About/Contact page, transparent policies, good content, authentic back links, and user interaction can help establish credibility..

Focus on clean entity signals first. Set up an accurate About page, detailed contact info, and clear privacy policies. Linking active, real social profiles and getting a few natural, niche-relevant links helps search engines verify your site is legit.

Focus on building trust rather than chasing a trust score. Publish helpful content consistently, improve your site's user experience, and earn relevant backlinks naturally. Those signals tend to have a much bigger long-term impact.

Yes, it should be on your About page, and it should always be accurate. Genuine business information builds trust with both users and search engines.
By the way, what niche is your website in?
Yes, the About page is one of the main places search engines and users check for trust signals, and it does matter that the info is accurate. Inconsistent or fake business details (address, name, contact info) can actually hurt you if it doesn't match what's listed elsewhere like your social profiles or citations.

Publish quality content, earn relevant backlinks and maintain strong technical seo.
For new websites, I believe consistency is under appreiciated. rather than trying to build up trust signals fast, establish a topical footprint for urself, remain transparent about your information, and allow interaction on your website. If your website appears organized and credible, it will gain more trust than anything else .
