Why I can't find "Moving service" in GMB settings?

I'm trying to set up a new GMB profile for a moving company. And I see no "Moving service" and "Moving and Storage service" categories in GMB settings.
Very strange. Can somebody help me with that, PLEASE?

I'm still searching for it. No clues... WHY???

Sometimes Google changes or hides certain categories depending on the country or the main category you selected first. Try searching for similar options like “Mover” or “Moving company,” because Google Business Profile often uses slightly different wording and those usually cover moving services.

Look for "Moving company" and/or "Moving and storage service"

Strange thing - today those categories are available...

Sometimes the category list in **Google Business Profile** depends on the country or the first main category you select, so certain options may not appear in search. Try typing variations like “Mover” or “Moving Company” first, then after saving the profile you can often add additional related categories in the edit section.

for what country? maybe different lingo there?

which country and language ? It will help pinpoint the exact service

sometimes google hides some categories depending on region.

try searching close ones like moving company or movers. u can also add secondary categories later.

change your IP country and check ,

This is a common issue with Google Business Profile categories. Google periodically updates and changes available categories, and sometimes removes or merges them without notice.

For moving services specifically, try these alternatives:

- Search for "Mover" instead of "Moving service" - Google sometimes uses different naming conventions
- Try "Moving company" as the primary category
- Check if "Relocation service" appears as an option
- "Logistics service" or "Trucking company" might also work depending on your exact business type

A few important things about GMB categories from my experience managing multiple local business profiles:

1. The available categories can vary by region and language settings. Switch your Google interface language to English (US) and try again. Sometimes categories that are available in one language do not appear in another.

2. You can only select from Google's predefined list. You cannot create custom categories. If the exact match is not available, choose the closest alternative and use your business description and services section to specify exactly what you offer.

3. Google has been consolidating categories lately. What used to be separate categories are now merged under broader terms. This affects rankings because your competitors might be using a different primary category.

4. If you still cannot find anything relevant, try using the GMB category finder tools available online. They pull from Google's API and show all available categories by region.

Also make sure you are editing categories through business.google.com directly, not through Google Maps, as the Maps interface sometimes shows fewer options.

Moving service might not appear in your Google Business Profile (formerly GMB) settings
because you are looking under "Services" instead of as a primary/secondary category,
or it is not available in your specific region
