GBP categories - "Pizza Restaurant" and "Restaurant"

[Alex Avellaneda]

Hi, there. A restaurant that essentially serves pizza is currently categorized in GBP as "Pizza Restaurant". However, pizza is not the only menu offering. The business name also contains the word pizza. Does it at all make sense to add the "Restaurant" category in GBP to rank better for "Restaurant" searches or is "Pizza Restaurant" sufficient since that primary category already contains the word Restaurant?

Hi Alex,

I would probably use pizza restaurant. Especially if that's the main thing that you serve. You can be clear about all the other things you serve on the website and Google understands that you're also a "restaurant" by default.

Thanks for the confirmation, Colan! 😊
