Be sure your portfolio isn't mainly made up of well known people and celebrities. The message it sends is that you haven't had any commissions from clients yet.
You need to have your location on your website, and have a contact page with your name and address. If you don't want to have your actual address listed on your website, then consider renting a Post Office Box, or rent a postal box from a store like the UPS Store, if you would like it to have a real street address instead of looking like a post office box address.
Every artist should have an 'about me' type of page. People want to know where you're located, why you got started drawing, your life situation, , if you have pets, etc. Portraits are a personal thing, and people like to know something about the artist they're considering hiring.
Avoid political affiliations or religious rants or complaints about global warming, war, etc. These things are important in the world, but the 'about the artist' page is not the place for them.
