Understanding the Change

Google Business Sites has been a helpful tool for many businesses to create simple, effective online presences. However, Google has decided to discontinue this feature starting 1st March 2024. This means that businesses currently using this platform need to find alternative solutions promptly to avoid losing their website presence.

Challenges Posed by the Shutdown

The closure of Google Business Sites can be challenging, particularly for small businesses. Concerns may include transferring existing content, learning new website platforms, and ensuring continuity in SEO rankings and online visibility. If you don’t build a new website before March 2024, the old one will be gone for good after that date. You’ll be unable to retrieve text or images from it. Any domain names pointed to Google Sites will be redirected to your Google Business Profile. Additionally, any incoming links to the website from other services such as social media or Google Ads will no longer work.
