Linking Google to Square without address

cplacek80 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 07:55:26 GMT

So I am a home based dog groomer and per my County permit I am not allowed to publicly post or advertise my address (nor do I want to). I am trying to link my Google business profile and I have to choose a location. When I do it wants to update my Google profile with my address which I cannot allow. Does anyone have a workaround?

@cplacek80 According to the circled sections from Square’s Help Article on Google Business profiles, you are required to have a physical address for the location you are linking. I’m betting this is a Google requirement, but can’t say for certain.

I wish I had better news for you.

Have you looked into getting a PO box? Either that or find a friend with a business you can "work" out of for mailing?

It's weird that you have a permit to operate a business out of your house but aren't allowed to advertise where you're at... It's like they are allowing you to exist but to not let people know you exist.
