## **🤔 Why SAB heatmap pins appear in the wrong location**

Service Area Businesses (SABs) — like plumbers, electricians, or mobile services — do not have a fixed storefront address in their Google Business Profile. Without an exact address anchor, the heatmap system cannot automatically determine where to center the grid.

## **🛠️ How to fix the pin location**

1. In the left sidebar, go to **Local** → **Local SEO Heatmaps**
2. Open your project and find the Heatmaps view
3. Find the keyword where the pins are misplaced
4. Click the pin on the map to select it
5. **Drag the pin** to the correct location — the city or neighborhood center where you want the heatmap grid
6. Click **Save** to generate fresh results from the corrected location

## **🎯 Set the location at keyword level**

If you set a location at the project level but individual keywords still show wrong pins, you need to also set the location at the **keyword level**. Keyword-level settings override project-level settings for heatmap placement.

## **🔄 Pin moves back after a manual refresh?**

A previously reported issue where a corrected pin reverted to its old location after a manual refresh has been resolved. If you still see this behavior, refresh the page and re-run the heatmap so the corrected center is saved — your dragged location should now persist.

## **⚠️ Can't create a heatmap for your SAB?**

If you previously received an error when trying to generate a heatmap for a Service Area Business, this has been fixed — SAB heatmap creation is supported. If you hit a **“Location not Found”** error when a heatmap fails to display inside Report Builder, confirm a valid pin location has been set for the keyword and re-run the heatmap before adding it to the report.

## **💡 Tip: use a neighborhood center point**

For the most useful heatmap data, drag your pin to the geographic center of your primary service area — typically the downtown area or most densely populated zone of the city you serve.
