FAQs

Why is it important to choose the right subcategory?

Subcategories help customers narrow their search. Choosing the most accurate subcategory makes it more likely your business will appear in front of people looking for your specific services, which can lead to more relevant inquiries.

Can I list my service in more than one category?
To keep search results accurate and easy to navigate, each listing should be placed in the single most relevant category. If you offer two distinct services (for example, pet grooming and photography), you can purchase an additional listing to appear in both categories.
What services aren't allowed?
