Represent the actual business entity accurately, using the most appropriate Organization or LocalBusiness subtype when applicable. Describe genuine served areas with supported geographic properties, but do not fabricate branch locations, street addresses, or geo-coordinates for towns without offices. Put services and coverage visibly on the page so structured data agrees with what customers read. Reuse a stable business @id and connect relevant service descriptions where valid. Check the current Schema.org vocabulary and Google’s feature documentation before assuming a property earns special search display.
