        "text": "If your business is home‑based or primarily mobile, you can still show up in “near me” voice searches by setting up a proper service‑area listing and hiding your home address.\n\nAssistants care that you serve the user’s location, not that you have a walk‑in storefront.\n\nKey factors:\n- In Google Business Profile, choose “service‑area business,” hide your exact address, and define realistic service zones.\n- Describe your on‑site or mobile services clearly in profiles and on your site.\n- Keep your phone, hours, and service area details accurate and consistent everywhere.\n- Build reviews that mention specific neighborhoods or cities you serve.\n\nTake the time to configure your service‑area settings correctly instead of forcing a fake storefront address. Done right, you can still be the recommended option when someone nearby asks for your type of service.",
