We recommend that you be as specific as possible when choosing how to categorize your business on GBP. That said, it is not uncommon to find that there is no category available in Google Business Profile that perfectly represents your business. Knowing that the primary category you choose is given the most importance, you want it to be perfect.

There are currently over 3,000 different category options available. Find the full list here .

If you are having trouble finding the right denmark whatsapp number way to classify your business, we recommend choosing a broader category than your current classification.

For example, let's say you run a shipping company.

You won't find it as a category within GMB, but you will find "Shipping & Mail" which is a little less specific, but still relevant, so choose that.

What is the short name on Google Business Profile?




All verified GBP listings can choose a “short name” to make it easier for customers to find and follow the business on Maps and Search.

You will probably promote this short name, so make sure it is short and to the point. Google recommends including your location to make it more distinctive.

Try to keep your short name as concise as possible to make it easier to share with customers.
