So let’s say you have a gbp for “Boston Plumbers” but that business owners office was 30 miles away from the city of Boston… Realizing there’s no chance of ranking within Boston, this store owner moves to the city center but is still hiding his address. Is it possible to change the “hidden”...

Thanks for this info, I really appreciate it! Is the worry regarding official business addresses in case of a suspension (thus needing official documentation)? I guess what I was asking was barring a suspension, if the address was changed to be closer to the SAB listed would all the "rank...

Is it possible to change the address for the pre-existing GBP, thus moving the "address juice" closer to the actual SAB or is it "stuck" at the original address given/verified?

Update... just tested this with some clients GBPs and Local Falcon and you're 100% correct. WHAT THE HECK! How does that make any sense? Follow up question: How can one remedy this situation and achieve geo-relevance in the correct service area when the verification address was 15-20 miles away?

Thanks! That's unfortunate to hear and doesn't really make much sense does it? What if a plumber lived 15 minutes away from his main SAB?
