As you can see, the list mainly revolves around restaurants, recreation, entertainment, and related leisure activities. There are a few anomalies as with any comprehensive list. We have also found that some keywords on the list trigger the Carousel in some cities and not in others.
We hope you find this list helpful. If you have questions about the Google Carousel and how it can impact your business, please call Qiigo at (404) 496-6841.
