A Guide On How to Choose Google My Business Categories

Miriam Ellis talks about how to pick the right Categories in Google My Business. Google categories can also play a role in determining which features will be available to you in your Google Business Profile/Google listing. For example, if you’re categorized as a “hotel”, you won’t be able to use Google Posts. If you’re categorized as an educational institution, you won’t be able to receive reviews. Meanwhile, if you’re categorizing your business in the auto dealership space, you’ll be allowed to have multiple listings for your departments and the car makes you vend.

In short, the choice of your primary and secondary categories contributes a lot to Google’s understanding and handling of your business. She talks about how to pick the categories, some tools to help you along the way and more.
