Schema markup - LocalBusiness without physical address

trebhin · Feb 21, 2023

Hi all - Can I use LocalBusiness schema markup to optimise for geographic locations without a physical address?
For example, my business offers services to locations across the country (and I target these locations through location-specific web pages) but my business doesn't have a physical address in these locations.
Can the page be optimised through LocalBusiness schema markup for these locations or will this be in conflict with the LocalBusiness schema on my home page for my business' physical address?
Thanks for your insights!

LocalBusiness schema markup is intended for businesses with a physical address where they interact with customers.
If your business doesn't have a physical location in the targeted locations, it may not be appropriate to use LocalBusiness schema markup on those pages.
Instead, you could use the Organization schema markup to provide information about your business, including its name, logo, and contact details.
You can also use other schema markup types, such as Service and Product, to describe the services you offer in each location.
Avoid duplicating LocalBusiness schema markup on multiple pages, especially if the physical address is not associated with the specific page.
It's best to use the appropriate schema markup for each page that accurately represents your business and its services.

Thanks for such a thorough and helpful response. The Service schema could be the best workaround by the sounds of it.
Appreciate your help!

You can use LocalBusiness schema markup without address for business types that have deliveries or at-home service. Make sure to add

additionalType: 'https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q356125'

You can specify "areaServed" property, without specifying the address. Also, you can specify a physical address and add

"publicAccess: false"
