Restore Your GBP Website In Minutes. Or How to Stay Visible in the Online Space?

As of March 5, 2024, Google has discontinued support for single-page websites created through Google Business Profile. Consequently, domains ending in business.site and negocio.site have been removed. When attempting to access such a website, customers will be redirected to the company’s business profile.

The redirection to the company profile is temporary and will only work until June 10, 2024. After this date, customers clicking on the link will receive a “Page Not Found” error message.

What is the value of a website for business?

The website plays a crucial role in the efficient operation of a business, facilitating various functions:

    • Image formation and trust building: Consumers often search for information about companies and their products or services online. Having a quality website positions the company as a reliable and professional partner, contributing to increased trust in the brand.
    • Interaction with the target audience: The website allows the company to interact with its target audience through various channels such as blogs, social media, feedback forms, etc. This helps create a community around the brand, communicate with customers, and receive important feedback.
    • Traffic generation: The website is an important tool for attracting new clients and audience. By optimizing content for search engines (SEO), placing advertisements, and implementing other marketing strategies, the company can attract targeted traffic to its website.
    • Sales channel: For many companies, the website becomes a vital sales channel. This can be e-commerce, where customers can make purchases online, or simply a place where customers can find information about the company’s products and services and contact them for additional information or to place an order.

How to increase organic traffic and not lose potential revenue?

Having a properly optimized website positively impacts its interaction with search engine algorithms, thereby enhancing your business’s online visibility and attracting a larger flow of clients.

It is quite common for blog pages, general company information, or competitor websites to appear in local search results instead of personalized information pages specifically about the location the client was searching for.

For instance, when a user searches for “Cafe ‘XXX’ in Ostpark,” they may receive results such as job openings or information about food delivery from Cafe ‘XXX,’ rather than the desired information. Consequently, these results do not align with the user’s intent. In most cases, the user will not expend additional effort to search and may opt for a competitor instead, leading to potential customer and revenue loss for the business.

Another example illustrates how companies miss out on potential website traffic.

For example, when conducting a local search query like “Ukrposhta Brovary,” it’s evident that third-party websites garner the majority of the traffic instead of the official Ukrposhta website.

Conversely, when examining the query “Nova Poshta Brovary,” it’s noticeable that the primary search results direct users to the Nova Poshta website.

Therefore, for a more quality representation of your business in local search queries, we recommend creating web pages for each individual location.

    • Add a tag for tracking Google Analytics. This helps evaluate the effectiveness of the site and track conversions.

Remember that your company profile on Google is a powerful tool for presenting your business.
