Google has released a new help guide for business owners that explains the rules for the Google Business Profile. Yesterday, I got an email about this change that said, “We’re making our rules and policies easier to understand.”
The email went on to say, “Our Help Center pages will be reorganized on July 31, 2023. These changes will make it easier for you to understand our rules and find the tools you need. They shouldn’t have any other effect on your Business Profile. Check out our policies to learn more.”

Here’s what that email looked like:
The new page is over there and has areas for:
- All Google Business Profile policies & guidelines
- Prohibited and restricted content
- Account level restrictions
- Eligibility
- Ownership
- Posting restrictions
- Reasons submitted content may be rejected
- Other reasons content may fail to publish
This might make it easier for new businesses just getting started with Google Business Profiles to learn about these policies.

FAQs
What are Google Business Profile guidelines?
To qualify for a Business Profile on Google, a business must make in-person contact with customers during its stated hours. There are some exceptions: ATMs, video-rental kiosks, and express mail drop boxes are permitted. If you add these locations, you must include contact information for customers to get help.
What is the new update in Google My Business?
New Access Options: A more important change is the decision to retire the GMB app in 2022, and instead encourage business managers to access their profiles through “an upgraded experience” on Google Search or Google Maps.
How many categories are there in Google Business Profile?
4,000 categories
There are 100s of Google My Business (now called Google Business Profile) categories to choose from, and a lot of them can seem a bit vague. In fact, there are over 4,000 categories, and Google doesn’t exactly provide any help on choosing what is best.
