I added all information on both tabs, with the same address, since I'm running a business. The legal profile is likely just between you, Google and the authorities which will be contacted by Google to validate your business.
The public profile is probably the one you want to be careful with, if you want to hide your home address. In my experience, the legal profile is the more important one. It should be absolutely identical with whatever records you have filed with your bank and tax authorities. In my case Google denied payment a few months ago because they found a tiny typo in my business address and they said they could not match it against the records of the IRS. It was something like a missing letter, so they are going to be very pedantic there.
