Primary Category & Categories

Primary Category & Categories for Your GMB Profile

Your category selection is very important and does have an impact on local ranking factors. Your primary category tells what your Ottawa business is (Law Firm, Dentist, Plumber, Hair Salon, etc). It is also the only category that will be published publicly.
