Google Business Profile Websites: End of Service Announcement
As technology evolves, so does the landscape of digital business tools. Today, we're addressing a significant change affecting websites created using Google Business Profiles.
End of Service for Google Business Profile Websites
Starting from March 1, 2024, the feature allowing businesses to create simple websites directly from their Google Business Profiles will be discontinued. This means that the websites you've created using this tool will be phased out.
"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."
Transition to Business Profiles
To ease this transition, beginning March 1, 2024, any visitors to these websites will be automatically redirected to the relevant Business Profiles. This approach ensures continuous online presence and seamless customer redirection.
"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."
Final Closure Date
It's important to note that this redirection will only be active until June 10, 2024. After this date, the websites will become unavailable.
"Your websites will redirect customers until June 10, 2024, after which they will show as unavailable."
