    Why this matters

    Hybrid businesses serving customers at a location and via direct visits must show both storefront address and service areas to maximize local visibility.

    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Determine if your business serves customers onsite and offsite.
    2. Edit Google Business Profile to include your business address.
    3. Add up to 20 service areas you deliver to or visit.
    4. Save and verify that both address and service areas appear.
    5. Update as needed if business mode changes.

    Watch for

    Failing to display the storefront address when customers visit onsite can reduce in-person traffic and confuse search engines.

    Definition of done

    Storefront address and relevant service areas are both accurately listed in the profile.
