Who this is for

A plumber using a UPS box as a storefront so the pin looks downtown. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better — do not force this URL.

The actual answer

If customers come to you, show the address. If you go to them, follow service-area rules and do not invent a lobby. The site must say the same thing. We will not write a fake waiting room for a mobile trade. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.

Do this in order

Decide where the handshake happens. Then match GBP, the footer, and the brief.

  1. Decide visit-us vs we-come-to-you
  2. Set GBP to that type
  3. Put the same rule on the homepage
  4. List towns on one page if you are mobile
  5. Hide a fake address if you do not have a shop

What not to do

Do not rent a mailbox to look like a salon. Do not mint a URL per town. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.

How this shows up on Bizzit

Free is live on you.bizzit.io after Google sign-in: 50 Cipher turns, no daily cap. Pro is $12 a month for unlimited Cipher, a custom domain, overnight jobs from the brief, checkout on your payment account with no Bizzit sales cut, and no badge. First-year domains bought here carry a 25% markup. We do not invent SKUs we have not shipped. Cipher will add a “visit our studio” block from the word shop. Delete it if you are a van.

The brief has to say mobile or not

“Plumber” is not enough. Write “we come to you, no public shop” or “customers walk in at this address.” Overnight jobs will not invent a legal storefront.

Limits

Do not rent a mailbox to look like a salon. Do not mint a URL per town.

Limits and caveats

Do not rent a mailbox to look like a salon. Do not mint a URL per town.

If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here. That is how this library stays useful instead of becoming spun SERP copies.

What Bizzit will and will not do

You describe the business. Cipher builds a site. You preview it. You publish on a Bizzit hostname for free after Google sign-in. Free includes 50 Cipher turns with no daily cap. Pro is $12 a month for unlimited Cipher edits, a custom domain, overnight jobs from the brief, checkout on your payment account, no Bizzit badge. Domain names you buy here show a first-year price with a 25% markup on the registrar wholesale. We do not take a cut of your sales. We are not a CRM, a dispatcher, or a review factory. If a sentence would require us to pretend we shipped a feature we have not shipped, it does not belong on this page.

Cost: the slug is free. The name is $12 a month plus the domain.

Stay on you.bizzit.io until the page is doing work. Twelve months of Pro is $144. The registrar line is separate. Cancel Pro from the account if the month is dead; the domain you bought is still yours to keep or let lapse. Read pricing and cancel anytime before you treat $12 as a personality.

What to do after you read this

If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business — not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Google and local search. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Doorways?
