          Hi Tonyklu,

          What I believe you are asking is how to improve the rank of your client's Google+ Local page for all 5 of his categories, rather than just the 2 high rankings you've achieved for 2 of his categories so far. Is that correct?

          If I am correct, then:

          1. Be sure you're building out very strong content on the client's site that supports his relevance to these other 3 categories.

          2. Be sure you're conducing a good citation building campaign.

          3. Be sure there are not violations on his Google+ Local page, and that there are no other issues like merged listings, duplicates, etc.

          4. Good inbound links to the website that identify the client's activity in these 3 other categories could help.

          5. A slow but steady stream of reviews on the client's Google+ Local page could help.

          This advice is on the generic side, but this is the general picture of how you build authority for any category.

          Hope this helps!
