Is it possible to target customers in two different areas?

I am trying to figure out how to target clients in all of the state of NY to do tele-therapy. This is where I am licensed; however, I live in North Carolina. I want to offer life coaching services to the United States. Also, I want to target local clients near where I live for home organizing services. I don't think there is a way to target different areas on my profile. Should I have different accounts for each service? I would love some feedback because I am getting leads from NY that I cannot fulfill in person.

    If you are offering remote services, you will show up beyond your service area - but I would be sure to highlight in either your business name or profile intro that you are offering REMOTE services and also list where you physically offer services, so that customers don't get confused about where you can do in person stuff. I might recommend creating 2 separate profiles for home org/life coaching since they are quite different. @AR2i and @soonerkimmy both have experience offering both remote and local services, so they may have some advice! And, @busyb is a very experienced home organizing pro who may have some tips for you in that area!

    @thesafeharbor1_info I agree with @DustiO about creating two separate profiles for your different services. This way, you can tailor each one for specific areas and budgets. I am in California but have clients across the United States, including New York! I work primarily remotely, but I do have local clients that come to the office. I would love to help you set up your profile to reach the masses. If you would like to chat, DM me your email and phone number, and we can schedule a chat.
