Service Area Business
A business that travels to the customer rather than receiving them at a shopfront, such as a locksmith, mobile mechanic, or lawn service.
Analogy Mental model
A foot specialist with no clinic who arrives at your door with a toolbox when you call.
In practice What you actually do
When verifying the profile, switch to service-area mode: hide the street address so customers do not turn up at a private house, and define the areas you cover by postcode or city, within the limit the platform allows. Publish a page for each area you genuinely serve.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
If you work from a garage with no permanent signage and display the home address as though it were a shopfront, a video verification request will end the listing. The reinstatement process is slow and not guaranteed.
