Storefront, service area, and hybrid
When you list as a local pro, FWDLink asks how you serve customers. That choice controls whether your street address can show and how neighbors understand your coverage.
The three styles
| Style | Meaning | Street address |
|---|---|---|
| Storefront | Customers come to you | Can be shown |
| Service area | You go to the customer | Stays private |
| Hybrid | Both — people can visit, and you also travel | Can be shown, plus areas you serve |
Pick the option that matches how you actually work. You can change it later in page settings.
Examples
- Storefront — salon, shop, or office where clients walk in.
- Service area — plumber or mobile cleaner who works at the customer’s place and prefers not to publish a home address.
- Hybrid — bakery with a storefront that also delivers, or a studio that takes walk-ins and on-site gigs.
How to set it
- Open Customize.
- Enable Local listing if it isn’t on yet.
- Under how you serve customers, choose Storefront, Service area, or Hybrid.
- Fill city, trade, and any service-area details the form asks for.
- Save.
Tips
- Service area is the usual choice when you don’t want a residential street on Local.
- Hybrid is for “both” — don’t pick it if you never take walk-ins.
- This setting is about Local presence; it doesn’t change album privacy or FWD links.
