Should a lawyer have service areas in addition to office location?

[SocialSpark]

I have an attorney client who has an office, but he meets clients all over the state. Is it helpful to add service areas to his GBP, or will it create problems? I don't want to lose the ability to display his reviews on his website, which you can't do with a service area business GBP, but he is both. People visit his office, and he goes to their location. Thanks for any recommendations.

Service areas have zero impact on rankings and performance. Since they are showing the address, skip adding them.

Thanks, that's good to know!

No impact on performance, as noted by Jason, but unlike him I say if your client ask for it, go for it. No harm done.

Thanks for that info, the client didn't ask, it's just he's seeing a dip in traffic again and I'm always looking for ways to give him a boost.
