How to set up multiple GBPs (different states/markets) for a service-area garage door company?

[Hope823]

I have a client that operates across multiple markets and doesn't have GBP for all the major metros it operates in. What is the best method to create/verify multiple service area garage door businesses in different metros? I know it's a tricky category, and I've done it with individual locations, but not in bulk like this. Thank you!

Is each location a franchise, part of a chain or totally independent?

A single owner that operates in each market.

I'd keep it simple and set up a GBP for each service area following these guidelines:

The key seems to be the 2 hour driving limit to define the boundaries of the service areas.

What if we only have one address? Do we need a different address for each market for this to work?

Each new GBP will need to be video verified. You will have a difficult time getting any of them verified. In the off chance that you get them verified, you will get suspended with a few days. The reinstatement process is extremely difficult to pass. Don’t even attempt it.
