You may have noticed my recent activity on Pro Webmasters with various Schema and JSON-LD related questions in related to my increasing my Local SEO presence. I have just been working on the adding AreaServed and know that it supports:

• AdministrativeArea
• GeoShape
• Place
• Text

Preferably I'd prefer to use Text over GeoShape since I only like to present physical data that actually appears on the page. I have added the following:

<script type="application/ld+json">
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "ProfessionalService",
    "additionalType": "http://www.productontology.org/id/Web_design",
    "name": "BYBE",
    "url": "https://www.bybe.net",
    "logo": "https://www.bybe.net/wp-content/themes/showboat/logo-bybe.png",
    "description": "Creative website design company based in Bournemouth and Poole, Dorset.",
    "telephone": "01202 949749",
    "areaServed": "Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset",
    "address": {
      "@type": "PostalAddress",
      "streetAddress": "Flat 11, East Cliff Grange, 35 Knyveton Road",
      "addressLocality": "Bournemouth",
      "addressRegion": "Dorset",
      "postalCode":"BH1 3QJ"
    },
</script>

As you can see I've added 3 locations to Area Served (Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset).

Question(s):

• Is using multiple locations as text values correct?
• Is there a better way? (without GeoShape).

The reason I ask is because of the spelling 'Area' and not 'Areas' served.
