It is very important you have more relevent and many categories. Google allow 1 primary category and 9 secondary categories. Here are some of the reasons you should do this:

• All categories don't have the equal traffic. So finding the categories with good traffic and using that can greatly improve your traffic.
• Some primary categories allows you add add services, so having those will help you provide additional information to Google.
• Updating categories is one of those things where a fixed amount of work initially can provide a big increase in traffic during the life time of the GBP.
