If customers do not receive service at your business address, Google's guidance says to remove that address from your Business Profile. Describe the places you serve without turning each town into an office location. Start by confirming how your locksmith business operates. Use the actual customer arrangement rather than the appearance you want the profile to create. ## Identify where customers receive service Ask the owner whether customers visit the business address for service. Separate a workshop, private home, mailing address, and staffed customer location in your review notes. Google defines a service-area business as one that visits customers without serving them at its business address. It distinguishes hybrid businesses that do both. [Google service-area business guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9157481?hl=en). Do not assume that having an address makes the business a storefront. Have the owner compare the actual arrangement with the current rules before editing the profile. This article does not assess a particular listing or establish eligibility. Keep uncertain location facts open until the responsible person confirms them. ## Match address visibility to the actual arrangement Google instructs businesses that do not serve customers at their address to remove it from the profile. [Google address visibility guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9157481?hl=en). For a mobile-only locksmith, prepare the address-visibility question using that rule. Do not publish a private address simply to make the profile resemble a shopfront. If the business has a customer-facing location as well as mobile service, review the hybrid guidance against the real operation. Confirm the customer entrance, actual availability, and location description before proposing copy. Avoid treating this article as an instruction to create a new listing. First identify the existing profile and its actual business owner. An unresolved identity question needs review before any change. ## Describe coverage without invented branches Prepare a coverage list with dispatch. Include the places the company accepts requests from and any service limitations the office approves for publication. Google's service-area interface uses cities, postal codes, or other areas rather than a radius. [Google service-area settings, checked 2026.10.22](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9157481?hl=en). Use accurate coverage in the profile. On the website, label towns as service areas when that is the supported fact. Do not attach office headings, branch phone claims, or street locations to towns where no such operation exists. Keep answering hours, dispatch availability, and actual attendance commitments separate. The coverage list alone does not establish when a technician can attend a particular job. ## Compare the website with the profile Use this review sheet before requesting edits: | Item | Website question | Profile question | | --- | --- | --- | | Identity | Does the page name the actual locksmith business? | Does the listing represent that business? | | Location | Is any customer address accurate and intended for visits? | Should the address be visible under current guidance? | | Coverage | Are named towns actually served? | Do selected areas match operations? | | Contact | Does the call action reach the intended office? | Is the linked destination correct? | | Hours | Is each stated availability clear? | Does it match the approved operation? | Ask the owner to resolve disagreements from current records. Do not make the website repeat a known profile error to achieve superficial consistency. ## Verify proposed corrections separately Keep a copy of the intended change and the evidence supporting it. Have the authorized account owner make profile changes through the normal business process. Check the public profile after the change is reviewed. Leave unpublished or rejected edits unresolved. A saved edit in a management screen does not establish a public result. For the website, test the phone link and any request form with details you control. Confirm the intended office receives the inquiry. Record website delivery separately from profile visibility. The [locksmith industry page](/for/locksmiths) covers the wider website brief.
