Is it worth spending time switching to https for an information resource? Is the effort justified in terms of SEO?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Should I set SSL only for the "green jump" in the address bar?
Website of a B2B organization with information about goods, but without a shopping cart and the ability to purchase (does not collect bank data), however, there is a form for sending an application with the fields "Name", "Mail", "Phone".

Answer 1

Since your site has forms that collect contact information, it would be a very good decision to make an SSL certificate.
It's actually not that hard to switch to https. The main thing is to do everything in accordance with the instructions: the link to Yandex Help here describes in detail how to make a move without compromising positions and traffic.
In general, according to the ongoing experiments in b2c, few people know about the meaning of https, unlike the b2b segment, so even from a reputational point of view, I would recommend you install an SSL certificate.

Answer 2

What time? The certificate is simply issued and its renewal is automated.

however, there is a form for sending an application with the fields "Name", "Mail", "Phone".

And how does the federal law on personal data, which you shine to everyone in a row, relate to this?
And what will the user think of you, contemplating the red warning "unsafe"?

Answer 3

What labor costs are you talking about? Chickens for laughs.
For SEO, it’s catastrophically important, I perfectly understand that your laziness will not let you find the two links you need, but today I’m not ready to google for that guy, sorry))))
Google has been lashing red-eyed sites for 4 years now.
Yandex joined the other day (a year ago).
On the other hand, what is SEO for you?))) Maybe we are talking about different things? I'm talking about a place in the search results.

Лень зад оторвать от кресла и сделать две темы?
Возможно и не лень.
Но вы прёте против правил ресурса.
Вопросы по сути разные. Очень.

Answer 4

What "green badge" are you talking about? Chrome removed it, there is no more green icon.
It's worth betting.

Answer 5
