Google is not hiding you. It just does not know where you are.
I look at a lot of Maine business sites and the same thing keeps turning up: nothing on the site says where the business actually works. No address, no towns, nothing. Just a phone number and a form.
If you run out of your house, I am not telling you to publish your home address. Plenty of trades should not, and Google is fine with that.
But you still have to answer the question somewhere. If you have a shop, the address answers it. If you work out of your truck, the towns you cover answer it. "Serving Augusta, Gardiner, Hallowell and Winthrop" beats an empty Contact page every time.
The businesses getting found in the next town over are usually just the ones that bothered to say they work there.
Open your Contact page. Does it say anywhere where you actually work?
