What Attributes Are Available to Your GMB Primary Category?

When optimizing a Google My Business listing, it’s crucial to understand the importance of your primary category selection. Your primary category determines:

• Which attributes, amenities, and service options you have
• Whether or not reviews are prominent or available for your listing
• If Q&A will be available
• If primary hours will display
• If you have access to secondary hours and which ones
• If you have access to Google Posts and which ones
• If you have access to Product Editor, Food or Service Menus, Food Ordering and Booking features
• And most recently, when GMB limited functionality, your primary category determined which features returned to your listings and when
