Citation Sources That Allow Hidden Addresses
Building citations for your business is a key component of every local search strategy, but what if you don’t want customers to see your business address?
Service-area-businesses (SAB), home-based, or decentralized organizations often do not help customers at their business address.

We’ve compiled a list of sites that allow businesses to keep their address private, while still getting the benefits of citation building, and establishing an online local presence. To learn more about hiding your address check out our blog post.
