Would having 3 locations NAP in footer of site hurt?
-
We have offices in New York, London and Sydney. On our website, we used the Yoast local plugin and set up NAP for all 3 different addresses in the footer of the site - and hence all pages.
Is that bad? Would G consider that as stuffing or whatever other word that they may deem to call it?
Any help would be appreciated.

As far as my experience goes in the local SEO, if you have 3 physical offices available and you are putting it on your website, there is no harm in it. Make sure you have your offices registered on Google Local and on other yellow pages and data aggregator websites with consistent NAPs.
Hope this helps!

Hi Moosa... thanks for responding and your advice. Because we are using Yoast, all these NAPs are wrapped in structured data. Would that also not be a problem?

Moosa is correct. It's perfectly fine to have your 3 offices in structured data in the footer. I recommend having a unique page for each office, as well, with complete, structured NAP for the location at the top of each respective page, as well as including all three on your contact page.

Hi Miriam,
Thank you for responding and for your advice. One last question: from where would I link to the three unique pages? From the NAPs on the contact page?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mash,
I recommend that you definitely link to these three office landing pages from your top level menu. You could link to them from your contact page, as well. Absolutely want those links to be high-level and crawlable!
