![]() Google uses your address to verify that you and your business are real, but you do not have to list your address online publicly. Side note: You do still have to provide Google with an address when you create a Google Business Profile. ![]() Thankfully, Google heard the cries of both small business owners and frustrated Google users (more on this in a minute), and you no longer have to make your home address public on your Google Business Profile to appear in Google Maps-which is now often referred to as Google’s Local Pack. And, for safety and other reasons, they’ve been hesitant to list their addresses on Google.
