Google Maps Categories Listing

When adding different businesses or fixing the listings for old ones, it sometimes is difficult to find a match for category.

Is there an official list available? I have found a mixture of semi-official and unofficial lists but nothing that includes everything.

Also, given that there is a list, does it show examples of what kind of businesses would match that category? Sometimes the category is a bit too vague.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Forgot to include the list from Google.

Be sure to pick English at the botttom tab.  Not sure if this list is inclusive of everything.

Hi @YK1001,

I would love to add the page but there are two problems. First, these pages are owned by Google and I only have read access. Second, I only speak English.

However, I appreciate your confidence in my abilities 🙂

Regards,

Jeff

Do you have any idea how we go about getting categories and features added? I work in the Aviation space and would like to add a few aviation related features, but cant.

 

Also there is a need for more localisation. e.g. in Europe you have Refuge Huts that re used by walkers etc in emergencies, it would be great to add that as a category in Australia.

 

Emergency phones on freeways (especially given Australia's remote nature) would be great.

 

Surely at a given level of proficiency, one should at least have a contact in Google Maps. after all they do make money from our assistance.
