Secondary categories get chosen by gut feel—and it shows
After you set a primary category, teams often stuff every keyword-looking label as “additional.” Related suggestions help you expand thoughtfully instead of guessing.

FAQ
Are related categories official Google recommendations?
Suggestions are derived from our category relationship data to speed research. Always confirm they describe services you actually provide.
How many additional categories should I add?
Only as many as are clearly relevant. Relevance beats volume—Google rewards accurate categories over stuffed lists.
What if nothing related looks right?
Keep a strong primary and skip weak add-ons. Search Category Search for niche labels that match your services.
