How Would Google Know Where Your Business Is Located When They No Longer Require An Address

In the 233rd episode of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOMpV94oUgk), one participant asked how would Google know where a business is located when they no longer require an address. The exact question was: Hi. In GMB, for service area businesses Google only requires a service area zip code or city. They no longer require an address. However, if distance is one of the most important ranking factors, I assume that providing an address would be important, otherwise how would Google know where you are located. Is that correct? #googlemybusinessoptimization #googlemybusinessseo #localseo More videos about Google My Business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u_nYzxH3Ps&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfrpP1E3l1UE-XaGuHys5sT- More videos about SEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20AURKe0smg&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfpUc753HsfSJpvv4bicf5_M More videos about SEO Questions Answered on Hump Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYv44gXnC68&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfo33kNReI6LwcM3MfgGoVpm Start with the Battleplan - your "Art of War" Playbook that combines decades of distilled SEO Experience and Cutting Edge Practices: http://bit.ly/2rmHAjA Ready to start OR grow profitable local digital marketing agency?
