Service-area business (SAB)

A business that serves customers at their location rather than from a storefront, like a plumber.

A service-area business travels to customers and may hide its address on directories and Google Business Profile, listing service areas instead.

SABs need careful citation handling: consistent NAP, accurate service areas, and directories that support address-hidden listings.
