How to Fix: Address Not Displaying
#

Your address is hidden despite having a storefront, often due to service-area business (SAB) settings enabled unintentionally.

Step-by-Step Solution
#

Step 1: Check Your Business Type Setting
#

  1. Sign in to Google Business Profile
  2. Click Edit profileLocation
  3. Look for “I deliver goods and services to my customers” option

Step 2: Choose the Correct Option
#

If you have a storefront customers visit:

  • Uncheck “I deliver goods and services to my customers”
  • Your address will display publicly

If you’re service-area only (no storefront):

  • Keep the box checked
  • Your address will remain hidden (this is correct)

If you’re hybrid (both):

  • Check the box
  • Set your service areas
  • Your address will still display

Step 3: Ensure Address Consistency
#

Make sure your address matches across:

  • Your website
  • Business licenses
  • Directory listings (Yelp, Yellow Pages, etc.)
  • Google verification documents

Step 4: Save and Verify
#

  1. Save your changes
  2. Wait 24-48 hours for the update to appear
  3. Check your profile on Google Maps

Step 5: Troubleshoot If Still Hidden
#

If address still doesn’t show:

  • Clear your cache and check in incognito mode
  • Verify your address is complete (street number, name, city, state, ZIP)
  • Check for any pending edits in your dashboard
  • Contact Google Support if the issue persists
