Google My Business -Choosing Multiple Categories

[bbop33]

Hi friends,

I'm trying to work out what would the practice be for a business who is operating in different categories in terms of displaying those categories in Google My Business account. We have a client who is supplying both catering and cleaning products (both categories are core). In this case, listing those two categories in GMB would be alright or should I expect a negative impact on results related to both categories as we have chosen multiple categories?

Any advice would be appreciated greatly!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply and your suggestions. I don't think that we are allowed to choose the first option -creating multiple GMB profiles for a business as there is only one business but supplying different products. I believe this can cause a penalty.

I'm going to confirm the second option with the GMB support and update here as well so maybe can help any other person facing the same issue.

Have a nice week!

Hi, why not have 2 GMB profiles as they appear to have 2 distinct offerings.

If you must use one GMB profile then I don't see any issues applying 2 different categories, as long as they accurately reflect the company.
