Is this a good practice to include website logo in H1?

I personally may have tried this a long time ago, but have not done this for some years.

Over the last few years I have kept the H1 clean and only used with related wording for the page/brand.

I would suggest informing Google that this is a branded logo using one of the various schema markups.

A great article about this can be found here. - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/using-schemaorg-markup-for-organization.html

Hi Maksim,

I would avoid using an image in any H-tag. In my experience and in my reading there just isn't any benefit to placing an image in it. Plus, it really is intended to denote the text heading of the page's content.

Basically, I'm not aware of any benefit at all from placing an image in h1, but I am aware of benefits of putting text in h1 (it provides a headline which can be good for user experience, and there's an admittedly tiny benefit to SEO). So I'd just stick to text. You can still use the image, just outside the h1 tag.
