A roofing company that works from home and visits customers should review Google's service-area rules before displaying its home address. Start with where customers receive service. Keep the website's coverage description tied to the work your office accepts. This is an address and website planning checklist. The authorized profile owner must resolve eligibility and approve any account changes. ## Describe how the company meets customers Write down the operating address, whether customers visit it, the signage present, and who receives visitors during stated hours. Ask the owner to distinguish a dispatch base from a showroom or staffed customer office. Google says service-area businesses should hide their business address from customers. It also sets conditions for displaying a staffed customer location and restricts virtual-office addresses. [Google's business representation guidelines, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). Do not assume that paying for a mailbox establishes an eligible office. Have the profile owner compare the actual premises with the full policy. Record an uncertain setup as UNRESOLVED before proposing an edit. ## Prepare one address decision sheet Use this proposed worksheet with the owner. It collects operating facts rather than deciding an account's eligibility automatically. | Question | Evidence to collect | | --- | --- | | Where does the business operate? | Owner-confirmed base and current business records | | Do customers visit that address? | Actual customer process, staffing, and signage | | Where do crews travel? | Accepted service locations and any scope limits | | Which profile is current? | Public profile link and authorized account owner | | Which website is linked? | Exact public destination and its contact details | | Who approves the correction? | Responsible owner and any unresolved policy question | Keep private address evidence in business records. Give the website designer only the public information the owner approves. ## Make website coverage understandable Use a service-area section to identify the towns or areas where the office accepts inspection requests. Avoid displaying a residence as a walk-in office when customers cannot visit it. If coverage differs by job type, state the approved distinction. For example, ask the owner whether repair requests and larger replacement requests share the same coverage. Publish only the answer they confirm. Review the footer, contact page, map, structured business information, and downloadable brochures together. Ask the builder to identify every place an address appears. Approve the intended public version before changing any of them. ## Preserve a usable inspection request Give visitors a way to ask whether their property is in the service area. Let them provide the location and the type of work requested. Avoid making an uncertain visitor choose a nonexistent local branch. Compare the profile's website destination with the page you intend to use. Read the business identity, service area, and contact action together. Remove wording that implies an office in every town served. Keep the first request separate from a booked inspection. Have receiving staff approve the next-step wording and any response commitment. ## Check profile and website changes separately Save the public starting details before the authorized owner makes a profile change. Record the requested correction and the visible result afterward. Keep any pending platform decision open. For the website, arrange a labeled inquiry using contact details you control. Confirm that the office receives the property location and original question. Check the address presentation and contact route on a phone. A revised website does not prove that Google accepted an account edit. Keep separate completion records for each surface.
