Find GMB Categories for a High school?

GMB Categories is one of the topmost ranking factors. Getting this correct will make a big difference for your ranking and traffic. In this article we go through how you can go about selecting the most relevant categories and services for your business.

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:

• Adding all relevant categories can help Google identify what your business is about. This way Google can get your GBP to a wider audience.
• You will rank better with search terms that matches those particular categories.
• There is a strong positive correlation between having more categories and ranking better.
• 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.
