This is a Beta Test of a simple tool to provide you assistance in picking the correct categories for your Google Local Business Center listing in the US (only).

Simply type part or all of the category that you are looking for. A new window will pop up showing Google's current categories with that phrase and related synonyms.

Any search query 3 characters or longer will work in the search field. If you are less sure of the category that you are searching for use a partial string to retrieve more category choices. For example if you enter "dent" you will receive categories that include dental and dentist (as well as other unrelated categories).

Local Search Consultant Don Campbell has put together this video to better explain the use of this tool in creating your Google Local Listing:
