Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate how quickly everyone helps out on the forum.

Thanks for the response Richard.

No we don't serve people at our location. I am wondering if I should change the listing because while the listing does great in the specific city where the address is listed, we are nowhere to be found on the surrounding suburbs - which is a greater part of our market. And also, I am fearful that down the road google will decide to take action against a listing like mine (and the majority of others in my industry), when the actual address is listed.

So, the potential benefit would be to have our business listed in additional service areas, the negatives could be an impact to our current favorable listing if we change it or punishment by google if we don't.

Thanks Again

I own a lawn care company and I currently have it listed with its actual address. I have been reading that service companies with a actual address listing MUST change their listing to hide their address and show a service area.

As you can imagine, the business is extremely seasonal and any negative impacts to my listing would hurt the company. If it makes a difference, the majority of lawn care and landscaping companies are listed with their actual address. So my questions are: (1) Should I change the listing now? And if so, what kind of impact will this have? (2) Should I wait until late autumn to change it so it can recover during the winter. Or, (3) should i just leave the listing how it is now?

Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions, I appreciate it.
