Free Website for Your Small Business
Google’s website builder is free and promises to allow small businesses to create and edit free websites in minutes on either desktop or mobile. Google has a free, single-page website builder designed for small businesses.
Anyone with a Google Business Profile can use this tool to create and edit free websites in minutes on either desktop or mobile. With Google’s website builder being an extension of Google Business Profile, you will need to have a complete listing in order to make use of it. Information and photos from your Google Business Profile are pulled in automatically to create a basic site, which you can customize with themes, images, and text. Whenever you update your Google Business Profile the changes are applied to your website as well. You can create a mobile-optimized website to represent your business via your Business Profile on Google.
Google will automatically use the information and photos from your Business Profile to create a site that you can customize with themes, photos, and text. Your site will automatically update whenever you change your business information or post new photos and will also be optimized for display on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.
Most of the content will be pre-populated, but you can customize it to your liking. You can edit these elements of your site:
- Theme: Choose from a selection of preset options.
- Text fields: Such as headline and description.
- CTA button: Select the main action you want customers to perform, such as request a quote.
- Photos: Choose a cover photo.
- Business information: Update your business name and contact information.
- Links to external sites: Link out to other relevant URLs.
