Google tests removing addresses from Local Services Ads profiles

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Google appears to be testing Local Services Ads profiles that do not display the business address. The test is visible across multiple practice areas and locations, with some profiles showing the address field while others do not, even though they are connected to Google Business Profiles with active reviews.
