Add activity categories to your listings to make them show up in as many searches as possible. These categories can be sports, martial arts, dance, academics, etc. Don’t limit yourself to just one! Be sure to add all the categories that fit your activity. For best results, keep it to no more than 7 categories, since adding too many can dilute their effectiveness in search results. See a **full list** of categories below. ![Categories Article Update](https://help.activityhero.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Categories%20Article%20Update.png?width=670&height=89&name=Categories%20Article%20Update.png) Here's how to add different categories: 1.
