Google is hurting millions of businesses with this decision
But we have a solution to help them out
Google is shutting down 22 MILLION websites created with Google Business Profiles in less than a month!
For any small business that was using this website, it is GONE on March 1st.
It will redirect to the Google Business Profile until June 10, 2024, but after that, visitors will see a "page not found" error.
Why is this a big deal?
These budget-friendly, simple websites helped small businesses all around the world improve their SEO without requiring a lot of money, time, or energy. Now, Google has left them all out in the cold 🥶
The grim reality is that this decision will likely leave a large portion of these businesses without a website (either because they can't afford it, can't figure out website-building software on their own, or don't have the time and energy to deal with it).
So, what’s the alternative?
If you know any businesses that are affected by Google’s decision, we have the perfect solution for them.
We added a new feature to our GBP Management software that allows business owners to create a one-page website based on their Google Business Profiles.
Just like the website feature Google had, but better.
It’s the perfect easy solution for only $1/m.
Wait. Only $1/m?
Yes! That’s not a typo.
AND, in addition to our new website feature, you also get all of the other benefits of our GBP Management software:
✅ Get alerts when Google changes your GBP and reject the changes.
✅ Optimize your GBP with our Services Finder.
✅ Bulk edit multiple Google Business Profiles at once.
