Is there a maximum number of categories in Google?

Yes, you can select up to 10 categories per location in Google Business Profile.

Please keep in mind that only the first category (called "primary") will be displayed in your Google Search and Google Maps location.

The primary category pre-defines which attributes can be selected for the location, while the additional ones are used as reference and contextual information.

Are the categories in Google Business Profile (GBP) different according to the country?

Yes, Google Business Profile categories can be different depending on the country. While most categories are simple translations, some countries have unique categories that do not exist in others.

Which attributes are available in Google Business Profile (GBP)?

Google has different attributes per category. In order to see all available attributes for a specific category, you have to set the desired category as primary (the first one) in our platform or in Google Business Profile.

This way, you will only be able to see the attributes that Google has linked to that main category.

Why can't Google update my lodging business listing?

Lodging businesses are treated differently and cannot be updated like regular listings. 

Conference Hotels get treated as lodging businesses, so they will not be updated either.

A potential workaround is to change the categories accordingly.

Are ATMs allowed on Google Maps?

Yes, ATMs will also be displayed on Google Maps.
