Help with SAB (Service Area Business) Google Business Profile ranking

[CaptainDD]

Our website - Home - Captains Designated Driver We are a SAB - Service Area Business. Until very recently, we used the home addresses of drivers as "offices" and we ranked well in many different cities (municipalities) in Greater Vancouver. We got flagged for "duplicate" businesses. We now have one Google Business Profile - set up as a SAB - not giving an address. My main questions have to do with how to rank in each of the cities (municipalities) in Greater Vancouver that we want to rank in. The keywords "designated driver (city)" and "DD (city)" make up over 90% of all searches. We get far more searches on mobile devices (phones). Ranking in the 3 pack in each of the suburbs (cities) in Greater Vancouver is our goal.

This is such a classic local search question. The short answer is that it's NOT POSSIBLE to rank in the local results in each of the cities, but there are some options for you to consider:

1. Pay for Google Local Search Ads to rank in those areas.
2. Target those areas with city pages and rank organically, but not in the local pack. See this guide on how to rank in cities where you don't have an address.
3. Open actual offices in every city. These need signage and need to be staffed. (this is likely cost-prohibitive).
