Service Area Business (SAB)
A business that serves customers at their location rather than at a storefront.
A service area business travels to its customers, like a plumber, electrician, or mobile detailer, instead of receiving them at a shop. In Google Business Profile these businesses hide their street address and define service areas instead. Ranking them takes extra care, since they lack the storefront-proximity signal, so location-specific landing pages and reviews carry more of the weight.
