Quick answer
Often yes in the regular organic results, when you have useful service-area pages, real projects in those areas and consistent business information. Google Maps visibility is harder far from your business location because proximity is a major local ranking factor. Paid search can target any area you serve regardless of where your office is.
The full answer
There are two different results to think about. The map pack is heavily influenced by distance from the searcher to the business. The organic results below it are more influenced by the relevance and quality of the page.
- Never create fake addresses or virtual offices to appear local. It violates Google guidelines and risks suspension.
- Earn relevance with real projects, photos and reviews that mention the area.
- Use paid search to cover areas where organic visibility is still building.
