FAQ

How do I choose the best primary category?

Pick the single category that most precisely describes your core business, not a broad umbrella term. If you run a wood-fired pizzeria, "Pizza restaurant" usually outperforms the generic "Restaurant" because it matches more specific, higher-intent searches. Use the finder to compare close matches before committing.

How many secondary categories should I add?

Add only secondary categories for services you actually provide. Google allows up to roughly nine, but quality beats quantity: irrelevant categories can dilute relevance and confuse customers. Most listings do well with two to five accurate secondary categories alongside one strong primary.

Is this category list always perfectly up to date?

This tool searches a bundled, representative snapshot of common Google Business Profile categories so it works entirely offline. Google occasionally adds or renames categories, so if you cannot find an exact match, confirm the latest option directly inside your Business Profile dashboard before saving.
