Hide Address in Google Places

Google Places Remove AddressAs a small business owner, you may be running your business out of your house. If you have set up a Google Places account, you likely don’t want to list that home address for security reasons.

Luckily, Google Places allows you to enter your address for location purposes, but hide it to the general viewing public. That way, you can tell Google Places that you would like your page to show within a 50 mile radius of your address without showing your exact address.

The way to do this is to sign into your Google Places account. Click to edit that account. Under ‘Service Areas and Location Settings, there is a box in the grey area that looks like the image below.  Make sure to check that box and click submit. That’s it!
