This is how we earn your trust.
These free checks are how we introduce ourselves. A person on our team prepares each one by hand after you send the form, and what we send back is yours to use even if you never work with us. No credit card. No spam calls.
New and renamed categories
Google adds, renames and removes categories without publishing a changelog. Before you change a category, type it into the category field of your Business Profile to confirm the current name exists.
Google Business category list: common questions
Where can I find the Google Business category list?
Google does not publish the full category list on one Help Center page. Categories appear as suggestions while you type in the category field of your Business Profile, and developers can pull them through the Business Profile API. Send us your business type and city and we reply with the categories that fit and the ones your top local competitors use.
