Google Business Profile Category List Changes (Formerly Google My Business)
Updated through February 2026
We actively track and document all Google Business Profile (GBP) category updates for the United States. Each month, this list is reviewed and updated to reflect newly added categories, renamed categories, and removed categories.
Maintaining accurate categories is a core component of effective local SEO. Selecting the most relevant primary and secondary categories improves search visibility, strengthens relevance signals, and increases discovery in local search results.
While many category updates expand globally, availability can vary by country. Businesses should verify that selected categories align with their services and market location to ensure proper representation and optimal performance.
