Google Business Profile additional categories: find the ones competitors use
A Google Business Profile has one primary category and optional additional categories. MapGap compares the categories you type for your business against the categories you type for up to five competitors you already see, and lists the ones you are missing. You type every input — MapGap does not scrape Google Maps, call Places APIs, or edit your profile.
How it works
- Enter your primary category and your additional categories (comma- or line-separated).
- For up to five competitors, enter their primary and additional categories as you see them on their profiles.
- Run the worksheet. Matching is case-insensitive and duplicates are removed.
What the output shows
- Each category a competitor uses that is not on your list, with the competitors that use it.
- Whether it is a competitor’s primary category.
- Ranking: categories used by the most competitors first, then competitor-primary categories, then A–Z.
- A summary: total missing, how many 2+ competitors share, and how many are a competitor’s primary.
Free preview vs. paid
The free preview shows the summary counts, the top 2 missing categories, your review-velocity target and reply templates. The $9.99 one-time purchase unlocks the full ranked list and the CSV export (category, competitors_using, found_on_competitors, competitor_primary_for).
Limits
- A missing category is only a candidate. Add a category only if it truly describes your business.

- MapGap never changes your listing — you edit your profile yourself.
