Missed approach segments

Go around procedure have their own segments, check ICAO Doc 8168 chapter 6:

----------------------------------------------
6.1.7 Missed approach gradient

6.1.7.1 Normally procedures are based on a minimum missed approach climb gradient of 2.5 per cent. A gradient of 2 per cent may be used in the procedure construction if the necessary survey and safeguarding have been provided. With the approval of the appropriate authority, gradients of 3, 4 or 5 per cent may be used for aircraft whose climb performance permits an operational advantage to be thus obtained.

6.1.7.2 When a gradient other than 2.5 per cent is used, this is indicated on the instrument approach chart. In addition to the OCA/H for this gradient, the OCA/H applicable to the nominal gradient will also be shown.

6.1.7.3 Special conditions. It is emphasized that a missed approach procedure which is based on the nominal climb gradient of 2.5 per cent cannot be used by all aeroplanes when operating at or near maximum certificated gross mass and engine-out conditions. The operation of aeroplanes under these conditions needs special consideration at aerodromes which are critical due to obstacles on the missed approach area. This may result in a special procedure being established with a possible increase in the DA/H or MDA/H.

6.2 INITIAL PHASE
The initial phase begins at the MAPt and ends at the start of climb (SOC). This phase requires the concentrated attention of the pilot on establishing the climb and the changes in aeroplane configuration. It is assumed that guidance equipment is not extensively utilized during these manoeuvres, and for this reason, no turns are specified in this phase.

6.3 INTERMEDIATE PHASE

6.3.1 The intermediate phase begins at the SOC. The climb is continued, normally straight ahead. It extends to the first point where 50 m (164 ft) obstacle clearance is obtained and can be maintained.

6.3.2 The intermediate missed approach track may be changed by a maximum of 15° from that of the initial missed approach phase. During this phase, it is assumed that the aircraft begins track corrections.

6.4 FINAL PHASE

6.4.1 The final phase begins at the point where 50 m (164 ft) obstacle clearance is first obtained (for Category H procedures, 40 m (131 ft)) and can be maintained. It extends to the point where a new approach, holding or a return to en-route flight is initiated. Turns may be prescribed in this phase.
----------------------------------------------

There's more to it of course, company specific procedures and different regulations of countries which have differences with ICAO can have them, but this is the standard guideline for go-around and missed approach procedures.

Hope it helps.
