Chrome extension help

1. Open the extension's page in the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
2. Click Add extension to confirm.

It works in Google Chrome on a computer. Chrome on phones and tablets doesn't run extensions.

1. Click the puzzle-piece icon to the right of Chrome's address bar.
2. Find Rankr: GBP Categories on Google Maps and click the pin next to it.

The blue Rankr icon now stays in your toolbar, so the on/off switch is one click away.

Go to google.com/maps and search for a type of business, like "plumber near me". Each result gets a row of blue category chips.

Under each business you'll see GBP categories (★ primary) and a row of chips. The first chip, solid blue with a star, is the primary category. The others are the additional categories on that business's Google Business Profile.

Click a business to open its listing. The same chips show under its name and rating, next to a Copy button. Click it and paste anywhere: you get the categories as a comma-separated list.

Search for the business by name. The extension works on any Maps search, so you can see which categories the businesses ranking above you use before you change your own.

Click the Rankr icon in your toolbar and use the Show categories on Google Maps switch. Maps updates straight away. You don't need to reload.

• Click the Rankr icon and check that the switch is on.
• Reload the Maps tab. A tab that was already open when you installed the extension won't show categories until it reloads.
• Check the address. The extension runs on www.google.com/maps only, not on country versions like google.co.uk/maps.
• In an Incognito window, extensions stay off unless you allow them: open chrome://extensions, click Details under Rankr, and turn on Allow in Incognito.

The extension shows exactly what Google has on that business's profile. Some businesses only set a primary category.

If you see "Couldn't copy", select the categories with your mouse and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac).

Google changes Maps without notice, and a change can stop the categories from showing until we update the extension. Updates install on their own. If the chips are still missing after you reload, email us and we'll look at it.

Nothing about you. It reads the category data Google Maps already loads in your browser and sends nothing to Rankr or anyone else. The only thing it saves is your on/off setting, in Chrome's own storage.

Right-click the Rankr icon in your toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. You can also remove it from chrome://extensions.
