In which I explain how Google is sunsetting its feature which integrates Google Business Profiles into a simple one-page website... By making a mock website for a real business, I show you the step-by-step process from setup to publishing the webpage, including how to add pictures and reviews, embed maps, and connect a custom domain. I also introduce Carrd, a one-page-site platform that offers more creativity and functionality than Google Sites.

If you're a small business owner who has been using Google's free business website through Google My Business, you might be wondering what your next step should be, as Google plans to shut this service down. There are plenty of great alternatives available!

One such option is Google Sites. Google Sites is a free and easy way to create and share web pages, making it a decent alternative to Google My Business's website function.

If you're looking for a more robust solution, you might want to consider an independent website builder like Carrd: https://strongsite.co/carrd ...for $19/year, you can access a range of features to help you create the perfect one-page website for your business.

The death of Google My Business's free websites is an opportunity to reassess your online presence and make improvements. Use this as a chance to create a website that really reflects your business and helps you connect with your customers.
