Small business owners benefit from listing their companies on Google’s Maps pages. Having a listing on Google Maps increases your searchability, and organic search presence. It is highly recommended.

A few clients of Opuscule though have home businesses or remote offices. They were forced to put their home address into their Google Maps listing, compromising the veil of separation between them and their business as well as protecting their personal information.

New small business owners already have the difficult task of appearing trustworthy and established; add in being forced to list that you work out of your apartment was an additional kick in the gut – until now.

A few months ago, Google Maps allowed for business owners to be listed by geographic service area, “Select how your service area will be specified, either through a distance from a location point, or through a list of locations (towns, zip codes, etc.).”

Thankfully, Google has listened to the requests of personal trainers, graphic designers, DJ’s and entertainers everywhere!
