Do you love keeping an eye on your competitors? Just wait until you try GMBspy. With one simple click, we show you the current categories for any GMB page on Google Maps or in Google Search. While the GMB category information is public, it can be difficult for the average user to locate this information in the HTML. Categories are important content elements that help feed Google’s knowledge graph, and can help improve your rankings in local Google Search. You can even copy a comma-quote-separated file to the clipboard for spreadsheet analysis. From car dealers to pizza parlors, small retailers to big box national brands, we show you all of their GMB categories so you can see why they may be potentially winning in local search.
INSTRUCTIONS: Once you install the GMBspy Chrome Extension, and “pin” the extension into your Chrome toolbar, you are ready to go. You then simply perform a GMB search from Google Search or Google Maps, and select the individual business you wish to analyze. Once you’ve selected the business you simply fire the GMBspy tool to analyze the categories.

Thank you for your support!
never works. Just shows a bunch of dots
This is a handy tool and it works well. Note that it only works in Google Maps, not in Google search results pages.
Our team at Search Engines MD uses this tool for audits on a daily basis and highly recommend this tool. If you put a lot of effort into GMB then this tool is a must.
The team at Reunion Marketing has used this tool for several audits both for our existing partners as well as to help showcase opportunities for prospects as we share opportunity areas for dealerships not yet working with us. It’s fast and easy to use. This helps monitor both your dealerships and your competitors, a very helpful tool for anyone working in GMB. Reunion endorsed!
What a great resource for Local SEO!
I use this tool whenever I am auditing GMB profiles and it has proved to be very useful. I really like how the results pull down onto the page because I include this in my screenshots and call it out. This has saved me a lot of time and really helps show value to our customers and prospects.
This is a great tool that our team uses every day. It saves us a ton of time!
Great tool!
This is really an amazing tool. Really will help clients understand how they can improve their discoverability versus their local competitors. Found out about GMBSpy during the Whitespark Summit. Thank you.
What a time saver! Digging out a listing (or competitor’s!) primary & secondary categories used to be such a pain!
This lil’ gizmo does it in a click! Great stuff.
Saves a lot of time !!! a great toool
Very helpful tool to see how your competitors are getting discovered on google searches.
Seems to work well. Looking forward to using this more!
Works well. But you have to remember to change the url from .co.uk to .com if using it in the UK. Don’t know if the mask for permitted domains allows for a wildcard on the TLD? i..e google.* rather than Google.com/* ?
Great Tool! Very helpful and indeed useful
Great tool! no need to check the source anymore.
Great little tool that makes it quick and easy to check the GMB categories of competitors. Also recommended for companies with multiple GMB listings.
