Adding your listing

How do I choose the right category?

Pick the single category that best describes your main activity. The list depends on your listing type.

At step 2, Primary Category shows only categories that fit the listing type you chose at step 1 — the help text says so: “Showing categories for the selected listing type.”

How to choose

  1. Think about what a customer would call you, not your legal classification.
  2. Choose the most specific category that is still true.
  3. If two fit, choose the one that brings in most of your income.

Wrong category is one of the most common reasons a listing gets few views: people browsing your real category never see you.

You can change it later by editing the listing.
