What this check can tell you
Category fit is only the first gate
01
Category
Google lists selected service categories. This tool compares your selection with a curated US shortlist reviewed on 2026-10-26. An absent category means this shortlist cannot decide.
02
Area and jobs
Google's availability can depend on the exact location, service and account. Enter your service area in Google's own checker to confirm what is sold there.
03
Screening
Google requires a public, verified Business Profile and may request identity, license, registration, insurance or other category-specific checks. Google decides when an account can advertise.
Sources and limits: these rules can change. This page is a planning aid, not a Google product or approval service.
