🚀 Google Business Profile Setup Guide
Get found on Google Maps & Search • Boost local visibility
You CAN use: contact@viberidesnyc.com
Google Business Profile accepts ANY email (Gmail, custom domain, etc.). You don't need to create VibeRidesNYC@gmail.com unless you prefer it for organization.
💡 3 WORKAROUNDS:
✅ OPTION 1: Use Your Home/Office Address (Recommended)
- • Select "Service-area business" (you visit customers, not the other way around)
- • Use your actual home address or office space for verification
- • Hide the address from the public listing (only show service areas)
- • Google will send a postcard OR require video of the location entrance/mailbox
- ✅ This is the most legit and reliable method
💼 OPTION 2: Partner with a Venue (Strategic)
- • Partner with Drunken Laboratory or another venue
- • List their address as your "base of operations" with permission
- • Market it as: "Pickup available at partnered locations"
- • Verify the address with them (they can receive postcard/do video)
- 📍 Bonus: Creates partnership marketing opportunity
📱 OPTION 3: Virtual Office/Coworking Space
- • Get a virtual office address in NYC (WeWork, Regus, etc.)
- • Cost: ~$50-200/month
- • Provides legitimate business address for all registrations
- • Professional mailing address for legal/tax purposes too
- ⚠️ Most expensive but most professional
