True, don't ruin your site navigation for the sake of SEO. Good thing its very easy to create a very appealing website that also can rank well in Google. Having accurate information in local directories would be considered "off-site" factors. Off-site factors are very very important, but does not negate the importance of proper on-page SEO. And yes, for a website like the example, I think the contact info should always be very easy to find near the top of the page.
