Following covid, a lot of people have decided to start their own small business operating from home. Using technology such as zoom, skype or Microsoft team, it is now perfectly normal to deal with local customers directly online. I, for example, just got in touch with an accountant to sort out my taxes and only dealt with him over the phone or on zoom calls.
According to google's guidelines, to be eligible for a Business Profile on Google, a business must make in-person contact with customers during its stated hours. Since this was written before covid, does it still apply? If it doe, s surely tons of businesses are now in breach.

Any help or resources to read would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Covid would have made little difference in my business. I have been working as a freelancer for 5 years now. I never had a clear schedule. If the problem was just me, I wouldn't even notice. But my customers suffered heavy losses, and I certainly did not expect this. Now I am considering the possibility of finding new clients from areas that would be more resilient to the effects of the epidemic. I would also like to take my business to the next level. Reading topic about personal capital vs mint vs quicken tips gave me some ideas. Maybe I'll finally grow to the level of a business profile on Google, haha.
