Need Opinion on Office Locations

[dave101]

Have a client who has a "main" location showroom which is in 1 town and then they have a warehouse about 15 minutes away in a nearby town. Should the warehouse location be removed from Google Maps? Wasn't sure if that would hurt their main location since it's the same name on GMB.

If the warehouse isn't open to the pubic, it's not eligible for a GMB listing.

I did not know this. Thank you.

Technically the warehouse could be used as a SAB, if certain legal conditions are met. (City license, lease DBA etc..)

ah, thank you for the clarification on that.

@BenFisher I'd love to know more about how that works. How about if an SAB client has warehouses around the state? Are they all eligible?

Rich,
It is very situational. In the case of one, a warehouse that is owned by the company, say it is not staffed, would have to be a SAB and have no hours on GMB to be in the guidelines. For more locations, the same rules would apply however they would have to make sure there was no overlap in service areas and be one per region.

Thank you, Ben!
