G2 Profile relevant category expansion for buyer discovery
Review G2 category placement as the product expands so the profile shows up where buyers actually shop instead of only where the company first landed.
Why this can grow a startup
A lot of teams treat category placement like admin work they can ignore after the first setup. On G2, that is a mistake. Buyers do not arrive with the vendor's internal positioning deck in mind. They search in the categories that match the job they are trying to solve. G2's own guidance says brands should be listed in all relevant categories, and its category-design note makes the SEO angle plain: G2 ranks highly for category searches. If the profile sits in the wrong lane, the product misses both discovery and buyer context at the same time.
Source-backed example
G2 says brands should be listed in all relevant categories as they grow, and notes that G2 tends to rank highly for searches like "[category name] software."
