Moving a rural Storefront Business (pin location) to new city location (Service Area Based) 25mins away
Can someone confirm I'm on the right track? Trying to help my client show up in the location he serves:
- currently has a storefront business profile in small rural town 25mins from a larger 90,000 population city
- do I create a new SAB profile in the city using one of his current projects (customer address)?
- then request Google to transfer reviews and then I go in and delete the old account?
or am I in violation of Google's Guidelines, I've tried to source the guidelines where this is not allowed but can't narrow anything down.
From my understanding, you can use a customer's address to verify a SAB in the city you serve to prove you serve in that area. You just show you have the trade tools and authority to unlock your truck and trailer in the customer's driveway. I'm pretty sure Joy Hopkins mentioned this was the only way for some service based businesses.
Any clarification would be great.
The other option I thought was to emphasize his service area to the city, build out GBP product/service pages and link directly to the website service-city pages to drive as much signal from the website to the profile that they serve the city.
