How do you set the Google service area?
The service area should follow the journeys your business genuinely accepts.
A larger area does not automatically create more visibility. It should mainly give customers accurate information.
Start with travel time, costs, delivery timing and the real frequency of work. Select coherent areas and keep the same boundary on the website and profile.

Yes. One measurable correction beats a large project launched without an order.
