How to Build a Website Within Google My Business

How to Build a Website Within Google My Business

Google now gives you the opportunity to build a mobile-optimized website within Google My Business. The site is free and easy to set up โ€” Google will even walk you through the process. But, since you’re already here, check out the step-by-step below:

Step 1: Get Started

Head to โ€œMy Business Website.โ€ As soon as you click โ€œGet Started,โ€ Google will start creating your site, using the information and photos from your Google My Business listing.

Step 2: Arrive at Your New Website

Check out the current content and look of your new site. Explore the options to start customization.

Step 3: Pick a Theme

The first way to make sure that your new site accurately represents your business is to pick a theme. Youโ€™ll find this option under โ€œThemeโ€ at the top of the sidebar on the left.

Your selected theme will change the fonts on your site as well as the color of buttons.

Step 4: Tell Your Story

Click โ€œEditโ€ in the sidebar to tell your story.

First, choose your primary button โ€” options are โ€œContact Us,โ€ โ€œGet Directions,โ€ and โ€œGet Quote.โ€ Next, add the text you want, including a headline, description, summary header, and summary body.

Step 5: Upload Photos

The third option in the sidebar is โ€œPhotos.โ€

Drag photos to the box that appears or choose โ€œSelect photos from your computer.โ€

Step 6: Make Additional Changes

Under โ€œMoreโ€ in the sidebar, you can change your site language, check where your business appears on the map, and confirm your address and phone number.

Step 7: Publish Your Site

When youโ€™re happy with the result, click โ€œPublish Now.โ€

Whenever you make changes to your listing or business information, including when you upload new photos, Google will automatically update your website.
