Google Business Profile & Maps

How do I set up a service-area profile without showing my home address for my Seminole business?

If you serve customers at their location and do not receive them at your address, Google lets you run a service-area business and hide the street address entirely. During setup or in the info section, list your service areas rather than a storefront, indicate you deliver to customers, then clear the address so only your Seminole service region shows publicly. This is the correct, policy-compliant setup for a home-based contractor and avoids suspensions from misrepresenting a location.

You still verify with your real address privately with Google, but it stays off the public profile. Then rank the service-area profile the normal way: accurate categories, a full services list, photos, and steady reviews from customers around Seminole. Because a hidden address means proximity works from your set service areas, reinforce reach with a dedicated Seminole page and local citations for the towns you actually cover.
