Suggestions from Author
It's easy to toggle the "category label" on an Instagram page (either business or creator). I don't recommend you to hide or show your category information on the page. I suggest that if the category label is there on your profile, then the viewer will get an overview of the content you will provide to them.
Some of the categories you want to list your business in or don't know the broad category of your business, then you can hide the category label. If you have any privacy issues, then you can also hide the category label.
Conclusion
I hide the category label on my Instagram business page. It was my choice of not showing the category label this time because I want to target all types of audiences, not a specific group. If you want to show/hide your category label from your profile, then it's all up to your choice.
