Answering the question before a ticket exists. Not hiding the contact link — that deflects tickets and produces the same frustration somewhere you cannot see it.
The genuinely deflectable questions are the repetitive ones with an available answer, and they are most of the volume.
Articles are suggested on the contact form before submission, at the moment the intent exists — which deflects far more than a knowledge base somebody has to go and find.
When a ticket is still raised, it arrives with the customer record attached, so the agent starts with context rather than a question.

On the contact form, before submission. That is where intent exists.
Failed searches — a backlog written by your customers.
No. That relocates frustration rather than removing it.
