If a business is located outside of city limits, the Business Profile won’t rank well for queries containing the city name. (Examples here: https://www.sterlingsky.ca/physical-vs-mailing-address/)
Personally, I like to visualize this with a map that shows both the location of the business and the city limits.
Here’s how I create it:
This is a great illustration to explain things to a client!
Sometimes Maps doesn’t show the blue dot, and I have to refresh or change the zoom until it does. And sometimes I just give up and try again later. There's a problem with this method: sometimes it doesn't work.
Does anyone have a more reliable way to generate this kind of map image?

Here’s how I create it:
- Spoof my address to the business address using one of my favourite tools, GS Location Changer
- Go to Google Maps
- Search for the city name
