In January, Google told us that Google Business Profiles websites will stop working on March 1, 2024. Google said that URLs will be redirected from the website to the Google Business Profile listing for a couple of months and eventually they will stop working. Well, March 1st has come and gone and the Google Business Profiles websites are still up and running.
Will Scott posted X that his website which he created on this platform is still working well. Also, several others posted about it in the Local search forum.
Will’s business profile website URL is and currently still works.
Now the rumor is that Google will do these redirects starting in mid-March, not March 1st. So we’ll see…
Honestly, I’m not too upset about these company profile sites going away…
As a reminder, Google’s ad said:
Starting March 1, 2024, customers will be redirected to your business profiles when they visit these websites. In the past, you’ve used a Google feature to build simple websites from information in your business profiles.
This feature is going away in the coming months and will no longer be supported, meaning sites you’ve created using this tool will be removed. To help with the transition, starting March 1, 2024, customers will be redirected to your business profiles.
In your profiles you can display similar information about your business and also add social media links so customers can learn more. Your websites will redirect customers until June 10, 2024, after which they will show as unavailable.
