Because Google Maps weighs distance from the searcher heavily, and a pin in Wesley Chapel sits 20-plus miles from most Tampa searches. Your service area setting tells Google where you will travel, but it does not move your pin or stretch your map ranking into Hillsborough County.
The workable plan is two tracks. Own the map pack tight around your Pasco pin, then win Tampa through organic city pages, Google Ads or Local Services Ads, and reviews that name Tampa neighborhoods. A real staffed office in Tampa is the only thing that genuinely moves the pin, and it has to be staffed during your posted hours.
