Eligibility For a GBP? Physical Address but Not a Dedicated Office

[Rog]

A business has a physical address, ie. a postal address at a business centre, but not an actual office. The owner works from home and uses the address for receiving mail and packages. Their is a shared office space which the business can use to work of meet with clients, and their are meeting rooms which the business can pay to book out for client meetings. Would this setup be considered eligible for a GBP? I'm aware that PO boxes aren't but this is a Business Centre and Centre's address is the business's registered address.

If you were asked to verify your business location you point to your desk or some branding in the building (eg: sign by the door)

Unless there is something Google can use to connect the location with the business you may struggle. It's all explained here:

No, this is not allowed. They need to have their own office with permanent signage in order to qualify. Since they only receive mail there and would need to use a shared space or meeting room, they don't qualify. Tell them to use their home address and hide it.

• If your business rents a physical mailing address but doesn't operate out of that location, also known as a virtual office, that location isn't eligible for a Business Profile.
  
  
• Businesses can't list an office at a co-working space unless that office maintains clear signage, receives customers at the location during business hours, and is staffed during business hours by your business staff.
  
  
• Businesses showing their address on Google should maintain permanent fixed signage of their business name at the address.
