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 #
- Sign in to Google Business Profile
- Click Edit profile → Location
- 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 #
- Save your changes
- Wait 24-48 hours for the update to appear
- 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
