The 500 most common Google Maps categories ranked by business count

We aggregated the categories on millions of live US business listings and counted how many businesses use each one. The result is a popularity ranking rather than an alphabetical reference: these 500 categories cover 80%+ of the businesses in our index, which makes them the practical shortlist if you are choosing categories to search, filter, or build a scraper around.

The ranking counts businesses, not listing slots: a business tagged both Dentist and Cosmetic dentist counts toward both categories. For the complete alphabetical list, see all Google Maps business categories.
