Hello,
I am helping a Realtor with her GBP. I am noticing a lot of issues lately with using the home address and hiding it. I am wondering if we would be better off setting it up under the brokerages address and then hiding that and just using the service areas she serves? I'm assuming that would not compete with the office and have filtering issues for both by doing that, but wanted to get others opinions? It is my understanding that by hiding the address Google does not go off of the address, but I am finding that even though the address is hidden, it still uses it in the background as the location center for that business. Would be very interested to know what others are finding and if you agree with using the office address and just hiding it as a sole practitioner and setting the service areas? Do you find any filtering issues for the business listing by doing this? Is there a reason why you would not recommend this or have seen issues?
Thank you!
