Hide your house on Google Maps & Search

Protecting your privacy in today’s digital-first world is more important than ever. If you run your business from home or simply want to maintain privacy, you can hide your home address on Google Maps and Search.

Here’s how:

1. Access Your Google Business Profile: Log into your account at google.com/business.
2. Edit Your Business Address: Navigate to the 'Info' section, then edit your address. Select the option to “Clear Address” and ensure your business is set as a service area business if applicable.
3. Define Your Service Area: If you operate a service-based business, list the cities, counties, or regions you serve instead of a physical address.

This small yet powerful step will enhance your personal security while keeping your business visible and searchable to the right audience.

As we wrap up another incredible year of innovation and transformation, let’s focus on three essential topics that will help you close out 2024 on a high note and step into 2025 with confidence. Whether you're a tech-savvy entrepreneur, a nonprofit leader, or someone just getting started, this edition is packed with actionable insights to help you thrive.

Closing Out 2024 with TECH Solutions

The end of the year is the perfect time to evaluate your business systems and implement solutions that will streamline operations, increase productivity, and reduce costs.

• Evaluate Your Software Stack: Take inventory of the apps and platforms you currently use. Are they meeting your needs, or is it time for an upgrade? Look for tools that integrate seamlessly and offer automation features.
• Backup and Secure Your Data: Ensure all your critical files are securely backed up before the year ends. Cyber threats don’t take holidays, so now is the time to update passwords and enable multi-factor authentication.
• Plan for 2025: Start mapping out your goals and determine what technology investments you need to hit the ground running. Whether it’s CRM tools, digital marketing platforms, or enhanced cybersecurity measures, having a solid plan in place is key.
