Most guys set their Google Business Profile category once, pick the broadest thing on the list, and never look at it again.
That one setting decides which searches you show up for.
Pick "General Contractor" and you're in a pile with every builder, remodeler and handyman in the county. Pick "Deck Builder" and you show up for the person typing "deck builder near me" with a pile of rotten boards in their backyard.
Fewer searches. Way better calls.
Set your primary category to the job you actually want more of. Then load the rest of your services in as secondary categories so you still show up for those.
Go look at yours. What's it set to right now?
