Google Business Profile
Your primary category should describe your business as a whole and it should be specific.
To choose your primary category for your Google Business Profile:
1️⃣ Login to your Google Business Profile.
- Navigate to www.google.com/business
- Click “Sign in” or “Manage now.”
- Log into your Google account.
- You will have access to your Google business page as well.
2️⃣ Select Edit profile
3️⃣ Under Business category, choose a primary category from the dropdown menu when you begin to enter your category.
If the category you want isn't available, select a more general category that still accurately describes your business.
