Selecting your categories – especially your primary category – is particularly important because your categories directly impact rankings.Before you select your categories, take a look at the Pleper.com website for a list of all the Google My Business categories available. Warning: Changing your GMB category too often can sometimes trigger a suspension or cause Google to re-verify your GMB listing. Select your categories carefully and don’t make changes unless you absolutely have to.

Google My Business has launched a tool where you can not only see the reviews for your business, but also quickly report those reviews for policy violations and even better, check the status or reviews you already reported. Plus, if that review was not removed, you can quickly submit an appeal.
Use this tool to report reviews for removal and check the status of reviews you've already escalated. Reviews that violate the Google review policies can be removed from Business Profiles on Google.
Recently, Google opened up the Google Business Profiles maps reviews tool to those who manage over 10 accounts. Previously, the tool only worked for those who managed a limited number of accounts.
