Google has announced that it will be shutting down business.site on March 1, 2024. This service allowed small businesses to create a fundamental website using their Google Business profile information, with domains such as name.business.site.
Google has announced via email that it will discontinue all business.site websites. Starting March 1, the website will be redirected to a Google Business profile linked to the website. However, by June 10, 2024, the website will no longer be accessible, not even through a redirect to a Google Business profile. Instead, users will receive a “Page not found” error message.
What Google is saying?
According to a Google spokesperson as reported by www.seroundtable.com, websites that are created using a Google business profile are basic websites that use the information available in the business profile. The domains that end with business.site and negocio.site will be removed. It is recommended that users update their business profile and redirect it to a new website.
What Business Can Do?
If you own a business and want to keep your website running smoothly, you will need to create a new site with a new domain. To avoid any complications, we recommend making the transition before March 1, 2024. For the best results, we suggest getting a new domain from Microforce Complete Solution to build your new website. We use the WordPress platform to develop all of our websites, so you can expect a high-quality, professional website that meets your needs.
Suppose your Google ad campaign is associated with a business website. The website needs to be updated before March 1. If you fail to make the necessary changes, you will have to pause your ad campaigns. Our recommendation is to link your business profile to your website and create a new website using the platforms mentioned above. Most companies have already linked their domains, so it should not be a major issue.
