ProfileForBusiness Glossary
What is additional categories?
Additional categories are supplementary business types on a Google Business Profile. They widen the listing's visibility to more kinds of searches.
Why it matters
The primary category alone will not cover the whole offer. Well-chosen additional categories surface the business for specific services in its range.
How to use it
- Add categories only for services you provide.
- Start with high-margin or high-demand services.
- Do not force categories from another industry.
- Review categories after extending the offer.
ProfileForBusiness structures the services list so every additional category is backed by a concrete description.
