Service Area Businesses (SABs)

In this guide you’ll learn more about how Service Area Businesses (SABs) can use Moz Local as well as the directory distribution available to SABs through the Moz Local platform. If you need more information regarding the directories currently supported through Moz Local for non-SABs, please see our directories guide.

Does your business operate in a particular service area? Moz Local is happy to support service-area businesses. When you purchase your location in Moz Local, you will be required to enter a business address, to help us determine your service area. You can then select the ‘I don’t serve customers at my location’ checkbox within the tool. With this option selected, your business address won’t be sent from us to our partner directories.

Please keep in mind that this option changes the directories that we support for your location. If a directory already has a business address for your SAB location, it won’t be removed by selecting this option. You will need to reach out to them directly to have your address removed or hidden.

Note: There are two different business models related to service area businesses: SABs and Hybrids.

• SABs are supported within Moz Local, which requires selecting a checkbox to alert us that you do not serve customers at your location.
• Hybrid locations have both a physical location and a service area. If you are a hybrid location serving both a service area and a physical location, we recommend you do not sync your Google Business Profile at this time, to avoid any unwanted overwriting of your existing Google Business Profile setup.

Step 1. Verify that your Basic Data, Rich Data, and Photos & Videos information is accurate (this is what will be used to update any inaccurate information on the web)!

If you operate a SAB, check you have selected the ‘I don’t serve customers at my location’ checkbox within the Profile Basic Data tab.

Step 2. Connect Moz Local with your Google Business Profile and Facebook profiles.

Step 3. Hit the sync button in the top right corner of your dashboard.
