Okey.. Thanks Keri..

[KeriMorgret]

That would be fraud, since there is no actual business.

[Dan_Brown1]

Thanks Keri for such a great information.

And what about other niches for example - plumber, dentist, Electricians etc. My aim is to create such websites and ranked them locally (in New York City), then sell them  in good price? Can I do the same?

[KeriMorgret]

No, for two different reasons.

1. You are not local to New York City.

2. Web design is not considered a local business by Google, and has not been for several years. Even if you were in New York City, you wouldn't be able to show up in local for web design.

Hi Keri, As I am living in India, Can I make a web design service website for New York City (without physical address and phone number)? Can I rank in Local Google?

[KeriMorgret]

Can you give a little more information about your business? Is this for a local business, that meets with customers at either your location or their location? If it's for web design, that's not considered by Google to be a local business. There are some ways for service businesses to be listed with the address hidden, but most things do require and address and phone number. What type of business is this for?

In my opinion, it’s almost nearer to impossible because without the physical address you won’t be able to get your business register in Maps and most aggregator’s website.

If you make location based pages and build good links to it you might rank well but I believe Google will still give preference to the businesses that are already registered in Google Maps and on other aggregator’s listings which is impossible to gain without the physical location and phone number.

hope this helps!
