Is it possible to verify two SAB businesses with the same address if the address will be hidden?

Background: The client has multiple local businesses such as landscaping and painting. He is wanting to verify both using the same address. Is this possible if the address will be hidden on the SERP?

@Santi1077, yes. That will work. But your client will need to owner-verify those GMB pages by postcard. So while that process is underway his address will need to remain in both GMB dashboards. If you plan to hide the address, you hide it after the verification is done.

Of course, it's possible your client will run into problems if those GMB pages overlap in terms of categories, or if they use the same website or phone number. If they truly are separate businesses, they need to look separate.

@Phil Rozek thank you very much for your insight! yes, the businesses will have separate sites/contact info. In addition, they are completely different industries so there will be no conflicting issues.
