Create profiles only for locations or service-area businesses that meet Google’s current eligibility guidelines. A dedicated location page should represent a genuine location with accurate business information, staff or service details, and useful visitor or coverage context. Do not use virtual offices or unstaffed addresses simply to gain additional map listings. Align each eligible profile with its corresponding landing page and monitor duplicate or conflicting entity signals. For served towns without qualifying locations, use truthful service-area pages rather than fake location profiles.
