I'm writing for help with our GBP. We need some guidance on how to set up our profile properly so we can get are account verified. I feel like i have been just shooting in the dark. We run a seasonal dog sledding business in the national forest with no address and no cell service. Our kennel where we keep the dogs and have our address does have an address. Our issue is twofold. First if we list the kennel as the address we have people navigate to our house and not the trailhead. The second issue is we run a dog sled business. We run it above reproach and take excellent care of our animals and pride ourselves in our industry leading animal care. That being said some people don't understand that and don't like what we do. We don't want to attract attention to ourselves. We would rather not list the kennel on maps for that reason. We had a pin for about 10 years at our trailhead. It was listed as Chapman Reservoir, Oak Creek CO. The reservoir is a campground listed on google maps just past our trailhead. People can navigate to it and they won't get lost. This spring I was trying to improve our SEO and from the research that I did I thought it would be a good idea to change the address to our kennel. This triggered google to suspend the account. We then reverified with a video and I tried to switch the address back to the national forest this again triggered a re-verification. We did another video. It reverified and put our pin in the center of our little town we live outside of and asked to move the pin for more accuracy. I put the pin back at the trailhead. Unverified. I have read we should be listed as a service area business but the categories I had selected wouldn't allow me to do that. I changed the categories so they are spot on now. The address field is blank and it wants us to re verify with another video. I feel like if i put the kennel address and hide it and list it as a service area business is the path forward but I don't know. If I do this the geo location of the video would match the video and the address would be hidden, I also don't want to compromise our visibility with local maps search. Right now we don't show up for "Dog Sledding Steamboat" in the business listings a huge problem because thats our primary market.
I feel like this gives you a good idea of whats going on.
