How to Choose a Good Category Name

Since approval is automated, the bar isn't a human editor's taste โ€” it's the format and name-collision rules the system checks at payment time. Practically, that means:

  • Describe a niche, not your own brand. "AI Copywriting Tools" works; "My Personal Startup" reads as a brand name and won't pass.
  • Keep it specific enough to be genuinely useful to other listers, broad enough that more than one business fits.
  • Check it doesn't already exist (or nearly duplicate an existing name) โ€” a same/near-duplicate name at payment time is exactly what triggers an auto-refund instead of approval.
