A crew traveling to an affected town does not by itself establish a new business location. Compare the actual arrangement with Google's location rules before making a profile decision. Google rejects a rented mailing address where the business does not operate. For separate service-business locations, its guidance describes separate staff and service areas. [Google's business-location rules, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). Build a factual eligibility record first. Keep uncertain cases with the authorized profile owner rather than creating a listing to test what happens. ## Describe the base without marketing language Ask the operations lead what the location is used for. Distinguish a mailing address, equipment staging area, temporary crew accommodation, and an operating office. Do not treat those descriptions as interchangeable. Record the address, who works there, when the arrangement operates, and whether customers are received there. Keep agreements and staff details in private business storage. Provide only approved public facts to the website builder. | Question | Evidence to collect | Decision it informs | | --- | --- | --- | | Does the company operate here? | Actual use and operating arrangement | Whether the address describes a real location | | Is staff assigned to the location? | Current staffing record | Whether a separate location is supported | | What area does it serve? | Approved dispatch coverage | Which territory can be described | | Are customers received there? | Visiting arrangement and signage | Whether an address should be displayed | | When will the arrangement change? | Current operations plan | Who reviews the public information later | The table is a preparation tool. Completing it does not automatically establish eligibility. ## Assess the profile under the applicable rules Google permits separate profiles for service-business locations with separate staff and service areas. It also specifies requirements for customer-facing locations and co-working offices. Read the full applicable guidance for the proposed arrangement. [Google's representation guidelines, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). Do not assume every temporary base qualifies or every temporary arrangement is disqualified. Resolve the actual facts. Keep a mailbox or accommodation address out of a proposed office claim when the company cannot support that use. If eligibility remains unclear, have the profile owner use the available support route. Save the question and response. Do not claim a support outcome before one exists. ## Explain coverage on the website accurately The website can describe approved storm-response coverage without inventing a local office. State which requests the company is accepting and how the office confirms availability. Attribute dispatch decisions to the real operating process. Avoid writing “local branch” because a crew is working in the town. Use a service explanation supported by current operations. Keep phone routing, inquiry destinations, and any location wording consistent across the page. The FTC requires supported, truthful advertising. Review office-presence and response-time statements with the same care as the headline. [FTC advertising guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing). Do not attach a guaranteed arrival time to a coverage map. Let the office supply the accepted availability wording. ## Give temporary coverage a review owner Name who maintains the website statement and who manages the profile. Record when each should be reviewed as operations change. Keep the accepted text and underlying operating facts together. Do not leave an expired storm-response page presenting a current local base. Have the owner decide the correct update from the actual business change and current platform guidance. ## Verify the public route after an accepted change Inspect the public profile and its website destination. Compare the business name, location wording, coverage, and contact details with the approved record. Keep a pending profile edit separate from an observed public update. Arrange a labeled inquiry from the storm-response page with the office. Confirm it reaches the intended desk and retains the property location and original question. Check that the confirmation does not promise dispatch. Use the [restoration website overview](/for/restoration-and-water-fire-damage) for the wider intake plan.
