Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern about the logo and its impact on SEO.
Removing the logo from the menu, even if it was within the hamburger menu, should not directly impact your rankings on the SERP or crawling by search engine crawlers. While having a logo that links to the homepage can provide an additional internal link, it is not a critical factor for SEO.
Search engines primarily focus on content relevance, site structure, backlinks, and other factors to determine rankings. The presence or absence of a logo linking to the homepage is unlikely to significantly impact your SEO performance.
It’s essential to prioritize user experience and site navigation when making design decisions. If removing the logo improves user experience or aligns better with your website’s design goals, it should not negatively affect your SEO efforts.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to let us know.
Thank you for your understanding and for raising this concern.
