For most coworking space profiles the best primary category is Coworking space — use it when: shared workspace. Choose Office space rental agency instead if private offices. Choose Virtual office rental verify instead if mail & address services. Many B2B and creative businesses have no shopfront. If clients never visit, set up a service-area profile and hide the address rather than listing a home address.

Primary category
- Coworking space — Shared workspace
- Office space rental agency — Private offices
- Virtual office rental verify — Mail & address services
Secondary (additional) categories
Add one only if the condition is genuinely true at this location. Fewer, accurate categories beat a full list of nine.
- Conference center verify — only if: meeting rooms who else uses it
- Cafe — only if: café on site who else uses it
2 categories are marked verify: they may not appear in every account or country. If you can't find one in Google's dropdown, skip it rather than picking something close but wrong.
Categories to avoid
These are often added to coworking space profiles but usually describe a different or broader business:
- Real estate agency
- Business center (unless shown)
Address or service area?
Usually a storefront: show the full address exactly as it appears on your signage, and keep it identical on Google, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places and your website. Service-area vs storefront rules.
Starter services to add
Categories say what you are; services say what you do. Good first entries:
- Hot desks
- Private offices
- Meeting room hire
Check before you change anything
Search “coworking space” on Google Maps in your own area, open the top few profiles and note their primary category (shown under the business name). Use what's common as a sanity check, not a template — your categories must describe your business. Ready to switch? How to change your category safely.
