LOL, I do believe that 2007 may have been a time when h1s around logos was common.

Excellent point JP :) We live and die by SEO and analytics so that point will carry some weight for sure.

Thanks!

Diane,

To strengthen your point to that consultant, having the logo in H1 would deplete your ranking on search engines too. SEO specialists frown upon that concept as the crawler cannot read a picture. That's another bad practice to using an image inside any H tag.

I would suggest you inform that consultant that we are in HTML5 and it is year 2017. Get up to speed consultant. LOL
