What Google Business Profile category should my propane company use?
Choose the most specific category Google offers that fits your actual business. If none fits exactly, choose an accurate broader one. Add only a few categories for real services or departments. Do not invent a category or use this field as a list of search keywords.

Use the live list
Google requires a choice from its category list. You cannot create your own. A name in an old propane guide is a lead to check, not proof that it is in today’s list.
Our advice: ask the owner what the business mainly does. Keep that answer in front of you when reviewing the choices.
Describe the business itself
Google says to use as few categories as needed. Choose what the business is. Do not list every item it has.
Additional categories can cover real special services or departments. Google says not to add one for every product or service. Have the office confirm that each choice fits work you actually offer.
Prepare for a follow-up check
Google says a category change can lead to another verification request. Make sure the person in charge can handle it. Review the business-name rules and local visibility checks too.
Next step
Write down the company’s main work. Review the live category choices with us and keep only the ones that fit.
