If you’ve tried adding virtual or service area businesses to your prospect list but ran into roadblocks, this guide will help you navigate those issues and keep your workflow moving smoothly.

📌 Why This Matters

Service area businesses (SABs), like home-based services or businesses without a physical storefront, can be tricky to add to your prospect list because sometimes the location data isn’t straightforward. When you rely on external information sources that have delays or missing info, it can slow down your efforts to connect with potential contacts.

✨ What’s New

• Improved Data Handling: Even if location data from external sources isn’t available, you can still add your prospects and keep reporting without interruptions.
• Form Submission Fix: The form you use to manually add leads now works smoothly, preventing previous submission errors.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: When adding a service area business, open the business page on Google Maps in your browser.
2. Step 2: Copy the full URL from the browser’s address bar (not the share link) and paste it into the designated field when adding the prospect.
3. Step 3: Submit the prospect information through your form without worry — it should go through smoothly now.

💡 Pro Tip

Using the exact Google Maps URL for each business helps ensure your prospect list stays accurate, making your outreach more targeted and effective, which can improve your chances of turning leads into loyal customers.
