Add copyright notice, year, and business entity name to your site footer

A proper copyright notice in your site footer, your business's actual legal entity name and the current year, establishes visible ownership of your content and deters casual copying, a small but genuine piece of legal hygiene.

This is low effort with real, if modest, value, both as a deterrent and as documentation of your ownership claim, and it needs your legal entity name specifically, not just your brand name.

How to do it

1. 1
   Add a copyright notice to your site footer

   Format like Copyright and the current year, followed by your business legal entity name.
2. 2
   Use your actual legal entity name

   Not just your brand or marketing name, the formal entity name from your incorporation.
3. 3
   Update the year annually

   A simple but easy to forget maintenance task.
