What are "Service Areas"?

Service Areas show the range where a mobile business will provide service. Whether or not a business page is eligible to have a Service Area depends on its categories. If your business qualifies, this feature will be accessible in your Business Account. Businesses with Service Areas will also have the option to hide their business address from the public if it can’t be visited by customers.
