Can you use location extensions for online-only businesses, and if so, how?

Location extensions are typically used by businesses with physical locations to provide users with information about their nearest store or business location. However, online-only businesses can still use location extensions in a slightly different way to provide users with location-based information.

Here are some ways that online-only businesses can use location extensions:

1. Highlight your business's service area: If your online-only business serves a specific geographic area, you can use location extensions to highlight your service area and let users know that you serve their location.
2. Provide contact information: Even if you don't have a physical storefront, you can still use location extensions to provide users with contact information such as your business phone number or email address.
3. Showcase your business's location: If your online-only business has a headquarters or office location, you can use location extensions to showcase that location and provide users with information about it.
4. Use location targeting: You can use location targeting in conjunction with location extensions to target users in specific geographic areas, even if you don't have a physical storefront in those areas.

To set up location extensions for an online-only business, you can create a location extension in Google Ads and associate it with a business location that you've created in Google My Business. Even if you don't have a physical storefront, you can still create a business location in Google My Business and associate it with your online-only business. This will allow you to use location extensions and take advantage of the benefits they provide, such as increased visibility and location-based targeting.
