Email, phone, address on banner

Should I remove my email address, phone and address from banner and place only on contact us page? Does this matter for Google placement? thanks Trish

Are you talking about a banner ad or just a banner on your site?
If it is just a banner on your own site, I don't really see the harm and Google can't tell what is on the image. You should also contain the information in text on your contact page and possibly in the footer of your site.
If you are talking about an ad that appears on other sites, I wouldn't recommend this. You are using up valuable ad space and more than likely someone isn't going to call you or jot down your address before they click on the banner and check out your site.

Hi Wayne coll,
I totally agree with you, if we provide contact information on each and every page in a domain it is like user friendly, if visitors found all these information on a page where they landed, then they feel quite good.
And also, one small tip, we may have so many branches linked to our business(More than 10 Locations) rite at that time, in ContactUS page we can provide all branches information in this page and for inner pages we can provide MainBrach Name:Contact Number1, MainBrach Name:Contact Number2, MainBrach Name:Contact Number3 at the bottom of the page.
Actually this is the process we are following.
Thank you....

In my personal opinion it doesn’t matter if you have this information on every page on not but it has to be on the contact us page.
Talking from the user perspective if you think you are in the industry where people love to have contact information then place it on every page may be in the header or footer, Google won’t gonna have any problem within in normal cases!

David is right. Google just wants to give the ease to users. It's good tactics is you are providing your contact details without harm the content placement.

I agree with David. The last thing you want is for your visitors to have to search for how to get in touch. Best rule of thumb- hand that to them on a platter. Make it easy. I also agree that it should be text, not a graphic.

I always like to have contact info on every page it helps users and that is what google wants. Local business need this more then pure online stores but make sure its not on a image on the banner so google can read it

What's the best SEO tactics when you have a dedicated web address pointing to a page on a different site?
Hope someone can help with a question I've got about sorting out some duplicate content issues. To simplify the question, imagine there is a website a.com which has a page a.com/newslettersignup. In addition to the a.com domain, there is also a different web address, ashortcut.com, which points to a.com/newslettersignup. ashortcut.com is the web address that is advertised in marketing material etc. So what is the best way then to tell Google etc. that ashortcut.com is the preferred URL for the page which sits at a.com/newslettersignup? The advice I've read about the canonical tag, for example, doesn't cover this exact scenario so although it can support cross-domain information, I'm not sure if that's the best route to follow. Thanks!

Phone number for SEO
We have had an interesting question from a client. They have asked if removing their phone number from their website would have an affect on their rankings. Our immediate answer was 'No' but it may affect the Brand, Usability and Customer experience by restricting the methods of contact. This then made us think that perhaps then it could have an effect in the long term. This situation is also complicated by the fact that they do not have a Google Local Plus account for operational, sensitivity reasons (they don't want to openly publicise their address) We believe that there shouldn't be any negative affect but thought we would open a discussion. Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas.
