Important Update: Google Business.Site Websites Discontinuing

We have some important news from Google that might be relevant to your online presence, but rest assured, it will not affect your current website managed by us at Strictly Plumbers.

 

Google has recently announced that it will be discontinuing the Business.Site websites as of March 1, 2024. These were automatically generated websites linked to Google Business Profiles. If you recall, these were the subdomain sites like localbizname.business.site that Google offered as part of its business listing services.

 

However, we want to assure you that this change will have no impact on your website or SEO efforts managed by Strictly Plumbers. Your website, hosted on our robust platform, remains unaffected and will continue to operate as usual. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your online presence is not only maintained but also continuously optimized for the best possible performance.

As for the Google update, starting from March 1, 2024, any traffic to these Business.Site websites will be redirected to the Google Business Profile of the respective business. Then, on June 10, 2024, these sites will be entirely out of service. This decision comes in the wake of Google selling Google Domains to Squarespace, indicating a shift in their business strategy.

 

For those who have used the Business.Site feature, Google suggests updating your Business Profile with a different website link and offers alternatives like Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Google Sites, Shopify, or WordPress for website creation.

 

Please remember, these changes are specific to the Google Business.Site websites and do not impact your existing website with us. At Strictly Plumbers, we are committed to ensuring your digital marketing strategy remains seamless and effective. Should you have any concerns or require further information, our team is here to provide comprehensive support.

 

Thank you for your continued trust in Strictly Plumbers. Let's keep plumbing the depths of success together!
