Why does my Google Business Profile category matter?
Your primary category is one of the biggest factors in which searches you show up for on Google Search and Maps. Choose the most specific category that describes your main business.
How many categories can I add?
One primary category and up to nine additional categories. Only add categories for work you actually do. Extra categories that don't fit won't help, and they can confuse customers.
Why can't I find a category from this list?
Google updates its category list from time to time, and some names differ slightly between countries. Start typing in the category box in your Business Profile and pick the closest match Google suggests.
How do I change my category?
Open your Business Profile, choose Edit profile, then Business category. Changes are sometimes reviewed by Google before they appear, and a big change can occasionally trigger a check of your profile.
What else helps me rank on Google Maps?
Reviews, accurate hours, photos, your services list, and how relevant and close you are to the searcher. Check your profile with our free Google profile check.
