I have been watching you to learn! I appreciate your help; you are amazing!! My GBP is a Painting business. Google doesn’t let me list my address; I'm listed as No location, home service only; how do I find all the Google guidelines to comply with my listing?

Chris as a locksmith business “city locksmith Taylor, LLC” we currently rank 2nd in the map pack within Taylor Michigan. I have watched a few of your videos and I enjoy your content! One question, right now I have every city that I serve nearby our hometown “Taylor” I hear in some of your videos to go broad and then narrow it down. So more specifically our city Taylor, is apart of “Wayne county” and within Wayne county is most of the cities we are trying to target in our 20 service areas. Would it be better to put in the service area “Michigan, USA” and then “Wayne county, Michigan” or keep it stuffed as a locksmith business?

If I have one primary category, is it okay to have other categories that aren't "Primary"?

Another banger! Are you using the Google Business Profile Manager or you just log into the client's Gmail and do you work that way?

Great video Chris!
I have a question about the products section. I am working on a pet sitting website and I tried adding the services in there, but they removed them due to their guidelines about live animals. Do you have another way to go about mirroring the services over to the GBP? Would I have to do it through posts?

Can I activate and verify Google my business profile without website??

So services are only to be filled out if you have a corresponding page? What if all competitors in the map pack have 50+ services listed? BTW awesome video and energy you bring to SEO
