Google deletes websites made with Google My Business
It’s official: Starting from march 2024, Google will discontinue websites created through Google My Business. This announcement was made via a press release from Mountain View. Websites created using Google Business Profiles will be phased out, with a redirect to the company profiles remaining active until June 10, 2024.
A few details about Google Business Profile websites. These are minimalist websites that allow businesses to display photos, hours, and text on single pages. When the Google Business Profile website is deactivated, the redirect will lead to the business profiles’ URL for a couple of months, just enough time to update the profiles and link them to new websites.
So, what are the next steps for businesses at risk of losing valuable conversions? The only solution is to create a proprietary website, which involves:
• Purchasing a domain
• Choosing hosting
• Installing a CMS
• Setting up a database
• Sharing a password
• Adding themes and plugins
• Creating content
This process can take considerable time, not to mention the potential for errors along the way. That’s why it’s wise to rely on professionals to create a professional and engaging website.
