WIll we be violating any policies?

Hi, I work for a company that offers hybrid healthcare services. We have in-person locations in Southern California, but cater virtually to the whole state. We are exploring the viability of getting addresses and business licenses in different cities to increase our digital presence across the state, what considerations should be made if we were to open those offices/GMB`s? WIll we be violating any policies if we do intend to offer in-person services at those addresses at some point down the line?

Hunter Van Ry: Alex Salman if you actually have a business license in those cities and actual locations (where you receive mail) then you should be able to create Google Business Profile listings for them without an issue. If the other locations are virtual offices then that can sometimes cause issues because of the fact there are many businesses with the same address.

Alex Salman: Hunter Van Ry thank you for your response. That was my hunch. The ultimate goal down to road would be license it and treat people out of there in-person, but we need to explore the viability of doing so beforehand that would involve us needing an office space.

Tim Capper: Group expertDon`t create profiles at "virtual offices" - only locations where there are staff that will meet people in person during stated business hours.

Alex Salman: Tim Capper by â€œvirtual officeâ€ do you mean a non-existent office that we would just use the address for a GMB profile? I am looking into unique physical addresses that we would build out an office environment in and would have some of our staff go there when we have business in that area. Desks, signage, etc.. will be in place
