How to choose a category for a service not offered by Google in your Google Business profile. It is important to choose a primary category that appeals to your customers and fits your business. Look at other businesses in your industry and location to see what categories they have chosen.

Research businesses in larger cities to see what categories are being rewarded in those areas. Analyze the categories chosen by top performers to make an informed decision on the best category for your business. When filling out your Google Business profile, you may find that the specific service you offer is not listed as a category option. It is important to choose a primary category that best represents your business and appeals to your customers.

By analyzing the categories chosen by top performers in your location and in high competition cities, you can make an informed decision on the best category for your business.
