So, you got an email from Google Business Profile that your website will be closing down on March 1, 2024, and it reads…
Websites made with Google Business Profiles will be turned off soon
Starting from March 1, 2024, customers will be redirected to your Business Profiles when they visit these websites
In the past you’ve used a Google feature to make simple websites from the information on your Business Profiles.
This feature is going away in the coming months and will no longer be supported, meaning the sites you created with this tool will be removed. To help with the transition, starting March 1, 2024, customers will be redirected to your Business Profiles.
On your profiles you can showcase similar information about your business, and also add social media links so customers can learn more. Your websites will redirect customers until June 10, 2024, after which they will show as unavailable.
Updating your profiles with a different website
You can update your Business Profiles to link to a different website. If you need to make a website, you can use a site builder such as Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Google Sites, Shopify, or WordPress.
It is not the first service to be killed by Google, but your company still needs a website. We’ll move your information to the industry-leading, user-friendly content management system, WordPress. We will also improve your website’s design and your company’s online visibility in the process.
Pricing
Pricing starts with a one-time $100 migration with low-cost monthly hosting and maintenance of $15/month for all Google Business Profile websites.
