Please note that the correct choice of the category will depend on the tools, features, and functionality of the page, even if you choose the wrong category or subcategory - you can change them at any time unlimited times.
- Local business or location - suitable for companies or enterprises that have a physical address, which provides the provision of any services.
- A company, Organization or Institution - the category is similar to the previous, but choosing it, your company does not have to have one physical address. You cannot leave feedback on this category.
- Product or Brand is an excellent option if you are presenting a product that is sold through various sellers. In this case, you do not need to specify a physical address.
- Artist, Group or Public Person - everything here is clear from the title. This type of page is designed to "unwind" a person, for example, a deputy, a public figure, an artist or a collective.
- Entertainment - will suit you if you want to represent printed products, television or music without reference to a particular individual. For example, this type of page is suitable if you're going to open the page of the club of fans of the evening newspaper or the club of lovers of romance novels.
