Joshua B Allen: Can you not use suite a and b?
Michael Martinez: No.
Travis Bailey: Don`t populate citations, for two businesses, with the same address. You`ll end up with a whole lot of NAP clean up. Finding a good virtual office is often difficult, and can be dicey itself. But it`s one way to get a different address.

The key is `staffed during business hours`. I`ve worked at a building where some Canadian company was using the main address, rather than their actual unit #, in Grapevine, TX. I reported it, it was removed. Then it was back up a week later.

The location offered physical and virtual offices. They had receptionists answer the phone 8-5, which would answer the phones with tenants business names.
Tim Capper: Two businesses that share the same address is not a problem if they are two separate legit businesses.

There is no problem in building citation ins this senario.

However if you have the same Name or variation of name + same address + tel number = do not build citations for both - only 1
