True or False? Having your phone number in the header of your nav bar is good for SEO?

[UndergrndMarketing]

I have been told by a a few different SEO and Marketing Agency friends that by putting your address and phone number in the top section of your navbar is great for SEO. Does this myth have any merit or is it just misguided?

It is not true at all. Adding your phone number and address will help the readers to reach you faster. It has no direct impact on the SEO of your site at all.

No really. Not having any contact information across your homepage might be a issue. But giving phone number on top nav menu will not bring you more benefits. In fact, you can give more important info like sub topics on top nav menu to rank well for that keywords. If you are giving phone number as image, don't forget to give alt img info for same.

I am going with with FALSE on one this Dylan. Final answer

Sure, having the company contact info (phone & address) up there serves well for your site visitors to reach you (which is GREAT) but does not offer any real value from an SEO standpoint.

Hope this helps!!

It useful just for your users.

for local seo you can use

• rich snippet
• schema
• or google my business

So if one of your client is looking your phone number and type
YOURBUSINESS PBX or whatever google can give the right answer.

But as everybody set that will not help you to rank better.

Depending on the scenario, it could help because it would cause Google to read your address before anything else and if you're a local business, that could help gain relevance.  This is one of those things that should be super easy to test so I'll add it to my bucket list of items to test out.
