Storefront Business
A storefront business serves customers at a physical business location that meets the platform's eligibility rules.
A storefront business serves customers at a physical business location that meets the platform's eligibility rules. In Google Business Profile, an eligible storefront generally has an actual location customers can visit during stated hours, with suitable staffing and permanent signage. A repair shop with a staffed public counter may fit this model; a handyman working only from a home office usually does not simply because the home has an address. A storefront differs from a service-area business that travels to customers without serving them at its listed address. Businesses should represent how they genuinely operate and review Google's current guidelines before displaying a location publicly.
