The (Almost) Complete List of Google Review Attribute Categories

We’ve worked to compile a list of Google My Business (GMB) categories that have review attributes. Our title is more aspirational than specifically accurate but we will periodically update the list as we discover changes.

A couple of things to keep in mind as to why we can’t achieve 100% accuracy. First, we can’t see or know all of the categories that have these attributes. Second, these Google review attribute categories are a moving target. Google is still testing which categories will show them. Third, we think that Google is (or will be) expanding the categories on which they show.

For example we have seen Google review attributes on both Chiropractor’s and Osteopath’s profiles in the US, UK, and Australia but they are not showing in the wild at the moment.

So hopefully a really good list will suffice and be a helpful resource for you.

But the broader rollout of Google Review Attributes is very exciting. We see them as a critical piece of the review puzzle and that inspired us to add the ability to monitor review attributes in GatherUp, use our product to help understand what the attributes are telling you AND to help market them effectively on your website.

We obviously think that they are incredibly valuable as they solve problems for Google, the consumer AND the business. They do this through simplicity and low effort for consumers and (with GatherUp) for businesses as well.

We broadly “grokked” that they had been expanded from home services to broader service-focused businesses but we also wanted to understand more granularly the specific GMB categories that provided these attributes.

Google My Business Categories With Review Attributes

So far our platform and team have identified 275 GMB categories that offer the new review attributes:

Primary Categories Determine If You Have Attributes

An interesting note is that just because you have one of the above categories on your listing, doesn’t mean you will see attributes UNLESS that category is your primary category. For example, if your Google listing is noted as both a “jewelry store” and a “jewelry designer”, you will only get the attributes if “jewelry designer” is the primary category.

As we find more Google categories that offer review attributes, we will add them to this list so that it is kept updated. One day, if the world stands still for a moment, it will in fact be “complete”.

We could use your help as well. If you find a GMB category not on our list that is showing Review Attributes add it to the comments and we will add to the list.
