This step tells Peeptown what kind of business you run and where it should fit in discovery. It is not just an internal setting. It affects how your business is described, where it appears, and how customers understand what you do.
The goal here is simple: choose the option that matches your real business model, not the one that sounds bigger or more impressive.
Step 1: choose your business type
Peeptown asks you to pick the type of business you run. Choose the option that best matches how you actually serve customers.
- Physical shop, office, or company location: choose this if customers visit your place in person.
- Services at customer locations: choose this if you travel to your customers to do the work.
- Freelancer or independent professional: choose this if you offer your own skills or expertise directly to clients.
- Online business: choose this if you mainly sell products, software, subscriptions, digital services, or other online-first offers.
Step 2: choose the business category
After selecting the type, choose the category that most closely describes what customers come to you for. The right category should make sense to a new customer immediately. If a customer asked a friend what your business does, the answer should sound close to the category you pick here.
How to choose well
- Choose the main business model, not every model. If you do several things, start with the one your business is mainly known for.
- Choose the category customers would expect. Use the category a customer would naturally search for, not an internal or industry phrase.
- Keep it practical. Ask yourself, "If someone lands on my profile, will this type and category help them understand me quickly?"
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a category that sounds broad but does not clearly describe your main offer.
- Picking a business type based on future plans instead of how the business operates today.
- Trying to make one category cover every service you offer.
If you are unsure between two categories
Pick the one that best describes the main reason a customer would contact you first. If most customers know you for one core service, product group, or business function, use that as your guide.
