Hi guys,
Had a question for you guys on what is the best of the lesser of two evils, and no I am not talking about the elections;-)
I have a client that has his PO BOX address listed on his site (but it looks like an actual address, no 'PO BOX'). We were going to do a gmb page for him and hide his real address as a service page. But when it comes to making citations for his business, it won't be the house/service area address, it will be the post office address.
What would you guys do in this situation?
1. Create a GMB service page with no listed address, and build citations with his post office address on his site?
pros: it will be consistent with his site's address he displays
cons: there will be citation inconsistency between his gmb and others out there
2. Create a service page with no listed address, and only do citations that allow privatization of addresses?
Found some sites for setting these up:

Most of our clients for local seo have brick and mortar, or do not mind having their house address listed for a service page. What does everyone here do for the cautious clients?
Appreciate any replies and advice!
p.s. I did a citation audit and found 2 citations he created earlier with his actual address! That could prove inconsistent regardless of the two options above.
