**Place types** are categories that identify the characteristics
of a place. A place can have one or more place types assigned to it.

- A place can have a **single primary type** from the list below associated with it. For example, the **primary type** might be `mexican_restaurant` or `steak_house`. The **primary type** may be missing if the place's primary type is not a supported type.
- A place can have **multiple type values** from the list below associated with it. For example a restaurant might have the following **types** : `seafood_restaurant`, `restaurant`, `food`, `point_of_interest`, `establishment`.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Types with an asterisk (\*) were added as part of the February 12, 2026 release.
