Keyword Search Tips

Tip 1: If you sell any products online (such as Art, Jewelry, House Products, etc.), your NAICS code is 454110 – Electronic Shopping and Mail-Order Houses.

Tip 2: If you sell any products in person at informal locations such as Conventions, in home, or on the street, your NAICS code is 454390 – Other Direct Selling Establishments.

Tip 3: When using the keyword search use a single keyword such as dentist or events or pharmacy. If pharmacy doesn’t work try the plural – pharmacies. Multiple words are too complex for the search engine in many cases.

Tip 4: Import/Export are not a part of the NAICS System. If you import or export you are most likely a Merchant Wholesaler.

Tip 5: If you sell commercial products you are a wholesaler even if you think you are a retailer. i.e. If you retail medical supplies or heavy equipment you are actually considered a wholesaler in the NAICS System.

Tip 6: For any type of rental, use the word “rental” in the keyword search and then look through the results for the correct one. Same for repair.

Tip 7: If you are an event planning company search on the term event.
