How to Create a New Google Business Profile Listing 10

If your location is not a physical storefront (like a locksmith or masseuse),

or you operate strictly on a delivery-only basis, click “I deliver goods and
services to my customers.” If you operate your business out of your home
and prefer not to list your address, no problem. Select “Hide my address

(it’s not a store)” to prevent Google from displaying your full address on
public-facing pages.

The next step prompts you to select a service area. Businesses like
restaurants that also home deliver food, or a local cleaning service, will

want to use this section to inform potential customers if they’re within
their delivery or service area.

Service areas can be as small or as large as you’d like. You are able to add
cities, counties, states, provinces, or even entire countries where your
services are available.

Make sure your service area is as precise as possible, as this is how

Google will determine your search relevancy. For example, if you mainly
provide accounting services for local businesses in Rancho Cucamonga,

to appear in searches for “Accountants in Rancho Cucamonga, CA” than if
you use the entire state of California as your service area.
