Hello,
We apologize for the confusion you’re experiencing with the Rank Math setup. When you select Small Business Site, you should typically see an option to choose a specific Business Type that helps Google categorize your website correctly. If this option is not appearing, it could be due to a technical issue or a specific setting in your setup process.
To resolve this, we recommend checking the following:
- Ensure that you have completed all previous steps in the setup wizard before reaching the Business Type selection.
- Try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache to see if that resolves the issue.
- If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that we can assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you get it sorted out!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing this to our attention.
We can also replicate this on our end and have shared this with our developers. As soon as we get some updates, we’ll make sure to let you know here.
For now, you can choose your Business type from WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Local SEO.
We would really appreciate your kind patience regarding this issue.
Thank you.
That’s frustrating. After selecting Small Business Site, there should definitely be an option for business type. It might be a bug or setup issue on the platform. Try refreshing or clearing cache, but if it still doesn’t show, contact support. They should fix it, especially since selecting your business type is an important step for setting up the site properly.
I ran into the same thing when setting up Rank Math. After selecting Small Business in the setup wizard, the Business Type dropdown doesn’t always appear for some users—it seems to be a quirk in the plugin interface or a temporary bug.
A few things you can try:
Ref – sometimes the options load properly on the second try.
Check your WordPress theme/plugins – conflicts with other plugins or themes can hide certain fields. Try temporarily deactivating other plugins.
Manual setup la – even if you skip this step, you can set your business type later in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Local SEO.
If none of that works, their support team is pretty responsive, so you could open a ticket—they can guide you step by step. Hope it helps.
