        Hi Varun,

        You can put your complete NAP (name, address, phone) on every page, but most typically, local business websites put this in two major places: the sitewide website footer and the Contact Us page. It can also be a good idea to have it in the site masthead to help visitors instantly know that your business is local to them. I would only put it on the rest of the pages of the website if it made sense to do so. It certainly won't hurt you if you want to put it on every page, but I don't think it will be of more help than simply having it in the places I've specified, above.

          Hey Varun

          For a single location business serving a relative catchment area this is a total no brainer. Some sites do okay without this but there no reasons I can think of to not do this and certainly in our experience with over 100 local projects this always helps and never hurts.

          This is not the be all and end all though and I would want optimised service pages and the like if the business has several sub services so the pages themselves were optimised beyond simply having the address (usual suspects, page titles, meta desc, H1, content etc).

          Few pointers and clarifications from our experience:

          • You want the full NAP and not just the address
          • Ideally your NAP will be formatted exactly as on your Google+ places / local page
          • You can use a generator to add some schema mark up to your address for even more sizzle: http://www.microdatagenerator.com/local-business-schema/

          Ultimately, and it should always come back to this, if I am a local customer looking for a local business I want to know when I land on that page that they are A) local and B) serve my local area. Having an address on every page helps with this as does having optimised page elements and copy - that is user optimised with search engine visibility in mind.

          This is an easy win - lots of positives, no negatives. 🙂

          Hope that helps

          Marcus

            Is using a H1 tag in a logo image bad for SEO?

            We have brand logos on certain pages that have H1 tags in them - the H1 text being the brand's name, as this is what we'd want the title of the page to be.  The logos are at the top of the page instead of a written title. But is this the best option for SEO? Do search engines value H1 tags in images as highly as a standard H1 tag?Would it be better for SEO to add an alt tag to the logo and add a separate H1 tag on the page that's also the name of the brand?

            Tags - Good or bad for SEO

            We are getting Moz errors for duplicate content because tag pages share the same blog posts. Is there any way to fix this? Are these errors bad for SEO, or can I simply disregard these and ignore them? We are also getting Moz errors for missing descriptions on tag pages. I am unsure how to fix these errors, as we do not actually have pages for these on our WordPress site where we are able to put in a description. I have heard that having tags can be good for SEO? (We don't mind having several links that show up when searching for us on google...) As far as the SEO goes, I am not sure what to do. Does anyone know the best strategy?

            How Good or Bad is having a blog feed(s) on the homepage?

            Hello everyone, I was wondering if I can get some different opinion about having a blog feed on the homepage. Image, title, excerpt I have several feeds on mine which I do not believe it hurts and has helped my rankings but I wanted some superior SEO brains to weigh in. https://www.brightvessel.com Is it good for SEO? When would it be bad? How many posts would be considered too much? On my blog, have the most recent posts which have some of the same feeds. Which is making me question the duplicated content. https://www.brightvessel.com/blog/ Thanks! Judd

            Getting access to clients websites for onsite seo

            I understand on site seo fine, as I have tweeked up my own website a fair bit. But I am thinking about doing Onsite and Offsite SEO for clients, as I have had a few request now. So my question is what is the best way to get access to clients websites. So I can make the required adjustments. I have one client, who had a company create a website for him, but they have since closed down.

            Website accessible on http and https. Is it bad?

            We noticed that our website is accessible on: http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com Both the versions have page rank of 4. Though on https version we have added canonical tag indicating http:// version as preferred. Is this fine or we need to use 301 redirect and let the site be accessible only on http:// version??

            Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?

            Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
