Override Categories on an Entity – Yext Help

The Advanced Category Management tool allows you to adjust the categories you’re listed under for a specific publisher. The Yext system automatically matches to the most appropriate category on each publisher site, and because each publisher has its own set of categories, the categories can differ from site to site. The Advanced Category Management tool allows you to see exactly how the entity is categorized on each site and make changes accordingly.
