GBP Category Optimisation for Tradesmen in Earl Shilton

Your primary category is the most powerful ranking signal on your Google Business Profile. Choosing the wrong one - or failing to add secondary categories - means you're invisible for searches you should be winning.

Primary Category Selection

Your primary category determines what searches you rank strongest for. An HVAC company using 'HVAC Contractor' as their primary might rank better with 'Air Conditioning Repair Service' because that's what people actually search for. We analyse search patterns in your area to pick the category that drives the most calls.

Secondary Categories That Open Up Rankings

Google allows up to 9 additional categories beyond your primary. Each one opens ranking opportunities for related searches. A plumber could add categories like Drainage Service, Gas Installation Service, and Heating Contractor - each one targeting different customer searches.

Service Listings Under Each Category

Under each category, we list every specific service you provide. Not vague descriptions like 'plumbing services' but specific entries like 'emergency drain cleaning', 'water heater installation', and 'leak detection'. The more specific and comprehensive your service listings, the more searches Google can match you with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many categories should I have?
As many as are genuinely relevant to your business - up to the maximum of 10. Every accurate category is a ranking opportunity. We help identify which categories make strategic sense for your specific trade.
Should I change my primary category?
Only if your current rankings are poor. If you're already ranking well, we leave the primary alone and optimise everything else. Changing a primary category is a significant move that can temporarily disrupt rankings.
