How to be listed in Google Map for similar keywords?
1
Hi there,
I'm having a problem with google map listing. My business is "TrustGlass.ca". Its auto glass shop to repair or replace auto glasses. It will be shown when I search "Glass Shop" in Vancouver. However, when I search for similar keywords like " Auto glass repair, auto glass replacement, windshield replacement, and etc it will NOT be listed.
Other competitors like speedyglass will be shown with all of the keywords. I read all the threads but I could not find the relevant answer. I tried to add different categories to my business category in GMB, but there are some limitations to choose the keywords.
I will be appreciated it if you help me in this matter. My website: trustglass.ca

Google have provided some pointers to help Profile owners like yourself understand more about how to improve their local rankings for the keywords they're looking to target. Here is a link to that article.
Sadly this forum isn't the place to get support for questions about rankings on Google. The volunteers here are available to provide technical support to ensure legitimate business profiles are published on Google Search/Maps.

I already did all the recommendations on that article and the result turns me down. That's why I open this topic here.
In the GBM profile, there is no section to give similar keywords. I filled up all the sections with attention to the nature of business and still no result in Google Maps search (when you try to search similar keywords rather than glass shop). regarding the Category section, there is no open choice. I have to choose the predefined category. and there is no option to choose Auto Glass Repair Service as an example.
The closest one is Glass Shop.
Maybe someone can tell me this: when you search "auto glass repair" on Google Maps. you will be some names with categories below of that.. like this:
Does Google automatically give these categories to business names? If so, Will these categories be caught from the website or GMB?

When you want to choose a category on GBM, there is a predefined list. This means that I cannot use my category freely. I tried to key in those categories such as "Auto Glass Shop" and "Glass Repair Service" but google would not accept that because it is not in the list. Special Thanks to @Nathan For the great tool link.
