      I work with small local businesses (like Tree Farms, Feed Stores, Counselors, etc) doing web design, seo, etc.

      I encourage them to have their contact information visible at all times on their websites.  I'm also delving into the world of contact forms.  I want to have this info on every page - is this detrimental?

      Here's an example:

      Thank you!

        No, to count as duplicate content the text on the page needs to be largely the same. Googlebot is really good at parsing out navigation and thematic elements of the page separately from the content.

            You'll be just fine the way you have it now. Google may deem the contact info (the duplicate content) more relevant on one of your pages over the same info on some of your other pages...  but that won't diminish the relevance of the content on any of your other pages. I hope that makes sense 😉

              I was hoping with all Google's trillion mega billion dollars they'd be able to discern something like that.  Boy - I should have been a math major.
