Jade Wang Community
Manager for Google+ Local announced at Google
Business Help thread that if you are getting new categories in your
business listings which you have not selected, please do not touch them.
She explained in this regard that there is a bug (don't
be surprised) which they are working to fix and if you try to update those
categories, it may cause more issues.
In words of Jade:
We've found a technical issue affecting some users that causes a handful of new categories are showing up in Places dashboards. We're working on a fix and will come back with an update when we can. Please do not edit these categories for now while we work on the issue. Please note that these categories do not show on the publicly-available listing.
So local business owners take care and don’t touch those
categories at present. However Jade has not yet indicated when it will be good
to edit those categories.
