Note: We will not release the final payment for the service until we successfully imported a sample of 500 businesses to ensure that all works as required.

Attached is our listing of the Google categories we need scraped. Also please note that while Google refers to them as "categories", we internally refer to them as "sub-categories" because they will fall under 20 Main categories (also attached) that we have established for our small business directory.
