I assumed as much from our previous communications. What I find weird is the inconsistent way that it is implemented. Why would Blumenthals not have a category associated with it?

Google uses “Services – Web Design” as their category. So you are saying that “Website Design Services” came from one database provider and “Web Site Design” comes from the other?

These categories are from Acxiom again (and possibly some from GLBC). I verified it by opening a Superpages PPC account today and browsed through the available categories.
