[Create/Edit company in Personal account](https://help.brandwizard.io/knowledge/create-edit-company-in-personal-account?hsLang=en) # How to add/edit categories (type of activity)? Categories are necessary for better visibility of the company in search results, as users may search for your business based on them. The more categories specified, the more category-based queries the search engine will display your listings for. For the 2GIS catalog, if a company does not have a house number, street, description, and its category is not included in the list (Gas stations, ATMs, info kiosks, infocommunication terminals, kiosks/fast food stores, mobile gas stations, payment terminals, fast food products, fast food products - wholesale), the company will be considered an online organization. Online organizations are companies on the maps without a complete address, only indicating the service area (e.g., only the region/area/city). Such companies are linked to the catalog just like regular companies: without any issues. **Attention!** On the company editing page, please contact your account manager to change or delete categories. **Attention!** 2GIS (URBI) has two types of categories: regular and grouping categories. A regular category describes a specific type of business activity. It is specified when creating a company in your personal account or through your manager. A grouping category represents a broader field of activity and is assigned by 2GIS (URBI) itself. A grouping category cannot be selected or changed either in your BrandWizard personal account or in your 2GIS (URBI)personal account.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/f4097d94ee072199c6fedee332179b3701b46fb4)   To select, click on the **Search Categories** field and start entering, for instance, a car wash. From the drop-down list, select the desired one, for instance, **Auto repair/Auto Supplies \> Car repair \> Car wash**. The full list of categories can be viewed [here](https://help.brandwizard.io/knowledge/categories?hsLang=en). **Attention!** When adding, you should first specify the main category, and the rest in descending order of relevance.   ![](https://roketdata.helpdeskeddy.com/ru/file/kb_inline_image/117bfdfd56162d48685ecadaf2da8ba167a0c3c1)   The main category is marked with an asterisk, it can be changed.

For each service, their number is different: - **Facebook** supports up to 3 categories. - **Apple maps** supports an unlimited number of categories. - **2GIS (URBI)** supports an unlimited number of categories. - **Navitel** supports 1 category for a card. - **OpenStreetMap** supports 1 category for a card. - **Google Business Profile** supports up to 10 categories. - **HERE maps** supports an unlimited number of categories. - **TomTom** supports an unlimited number of categories. - **Yandex Maps** supports up to 3 categories. **Attention!** If your company has paid placement on Yandex, up to 5 categories will be available.
