I'd like to submit www.pamperyoursoul.com which is a mobile spa provider for the Greater Vancouver area (B.C., Canada). I've researched the different categories available, but not quite sure which is/are the best categories to submit to:

- Top: Regional: North America: Canada: British Columbia: Regional Districts: Greater Vancouver: Business and Economy
- Top: Health: Alternative: Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Workplace Massage
- Top: Health: Alternative: Aromatherapy: Practitioners

Also, once the company expands to other markets beyond Greater Vancouver (to other parts of Canada), should I submit to those regions also or resubmit to Top: Regional: North America: Canada: Business and Economy, for example?

Thanks in advance for your help.

In Regional, a company should be listed in the smallest geographic category that contains all its facilities.

Outside regional, sites of intra-provincial interest only, typically aren't listed at all. Sites with international or global interest might be listed once, in the most appropriate category. (If you suggest it to the wrong category, the editor should move it to the right place. If you suggest it to lots of categories, the editor's primary responsibility is to quickly clean up the mess, and the overkill might accidentally encompass the potential right category.)

If a company moves or adds additional service centers, the Regional listing should be adjusted -- submit an "Update URL" request mentioning the new locations, and suggesting the category you think fits the new reality better.

You would submit the update to the category where the company was currently listed pointing out the change. An editor will then approve and move the site or reject it if he/she sees no evidence on the site to substantiate the request. Don't use the update to try and get a more "seo-friendly" title and description at the same time - instant rejection is likely and anything else you have to say might be overlooked. 80% of updates tend to be of this type unfortunately. A mobile spa service covering Vancouver and Edmonton? What have you got? A lear jet?

Note - different editors take slightly different positions but you have a subject on a cusp - if the site has a distinct "health" theme then I would personally tend to place in a Health sub-category. If it is more towards "beauty" then the Business and Economy section is more appropriate, under Beauty and Cosmetic Services if such a sub-category exists.
