FAQ
Category finder, answered.
Why does the primary category matter?
It tells Google what the business is, and it shapes the searches the profile can appear for.
How many categories should I add?
One primary, and secondary ones only where the business really does that work.
Can I change my category later?
Yes, but change it deliberately and watch your results afterward.
