@whitespark - or anyone else - Have you ever seen/had experience with this happening before? Where a business switches from an address showing to service area (SAB - address hidden) - and the rankings are now from the center of the service area as opposed to the verified location/address...

Wouldn't that erase all the age of the GBP? Or no?

Day 2 - still the same?

Day 1: New GBP service area - https://static.md/875d4ada3aba7ee7ab3bfb5012a6512a.png Grid set on center of new GBP service area - https://static.md/f9ceca9083b12796127ce5d00794a63e.png Still ranking at original center of service area - https://static.md/9f90578f38348009cad614cbc5a8b264.png

Service area was changed from - Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Jurupa Valley, CA - to just - Riverside, CA, San Bernardino, CA, Jurupa Valley, CA (pretty small area overall). Edits still pending in GBP dashboard? But I’ll check and re-run the grids over next couple days and see what...

1. No 2. Yes Setting smaller service area to test was my next thought/step. Will try and report back. Thanks!

The address that "was" showing (where the google icon is on the screenshot) has never changes since they originally verified the listing several years ago.

It was reverified (suspension removed on 11/5/2025) - and actually then the address was put back by Google. Then later Google removed it (on 11/18/25). Pretty confusing since 2 things that are against guidelines (address showing and business name) were put back as they were (after suspension was...

Recently client who had address showing (for a long time so we left it when they became a client) on GBP was suspended. So had to change to hide the address (make SAB) and successfully appealed the suspension. - https://share.google/CrdaDL7FuCKfjFNCT Yes, it also has keywords in the business...

On desktop you get an option to use an existing email address for the Google account. - https://static.md/0325143395c51572dd0bf59a7fdc571d.png But I just tested on mobile and doesn't look like it gives you that option? We are just using regular Gmails. So not sure of any additional workarounds...

We've found that if you use Android phone (at least this is only way we tried, might work with iPhone? not sure) and create the Gmail/Google account as if you were adding a new Google account to the phone - you can create as many accounts as you want. Never had an issue (100s of accounts). Once...

Could anyone give any suggestions or advice on this? Appreciate any help in advance. Thanks

Submitting this again - my post here and on GBP forum were both deleted initially for different reasons so hoping this one might stick? If there’s some other way to ask for assistance with this, that actually relates to my “specific situation”, just let me know and I’m more than happy to do...

Siteground just recently tripled their renewal prices. We used to use Siteground (was a cheaper option, but still good) and WPX (best) exclusively. WPX hosting has been the best overall hosting I've found. It's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for with Hostgator, Bluehost, Godaddy (by...

I've never heard of a residential address being an issue with ranking in 3 pack. We have several clients who use a residential address.
