Basic Category Setup (Fully Explained)

Choosing the right primary and secondary categories in Google Business Profile is one of the most important steps

because it directly affects visibility, ranking, and the type of customers your listing attracts.

Ensuring it matches the business website, photos, and services

Secondary categories help Google understand additional services the business offers.

Example:
For a restaurant:

Google now requires video verification for MOST service-based businesses, even if:

  • You don’t have a physical shop

  • You work from home

  • Your business is online

  • You selected “Internet Marketing Service,” “Marketing Agency,” or similar

This started in 2024–2025 because Google is fighting spam listings.

Why Google Is Asking for Video Verification

Google wants to confirm:

  1. You are a real business

  2. You own or operate at the address (even if it’s a home-based office)

  3. You perform real work

  4. Your location exists (even if service area business)

So even “Internet Marketing Service” requires a video showing:

  • Your workplace setup

  • Your equipment (laptop, PC, etc.)

  • Proof with your domain (website on screen)

  • Any business documents

  • Street view outside your house/building entrance

🎥 What to Show in the Video (Perfect for Approval)

1. Show Your Workspace

Example scenes Google approves:

2. Show Proof of Address

Simple footage:

  • Your building entrance

  • Street name or house number

  • Front door

(No need to show your face.)

3. Show Proof of Business:

Show one or more:

  • GST certificate (if available — optional)

  • Visiting card

  • Invoice

  • Your website displayed on screen

  • Any work samples (virtual tour, photos, dashboards)

🟢 Tips to Get 100% Instant Approval:

✔ Record in good lighting
✔ Keep video continuous (no cuts)
✔ Move slowly and steadily
✔ Follow Google instructions exactly
✔ Stay silent unless asked for voice explanation
✔ Show your workspace and address clearly
