Brizy has just added a new feature that connects its AI website builder directly to an existing Google Business Profile, earlier known as Google My Business.

This new feature comes after Google decided to discontinue all Google My Business (GMB) websites created and hosted on its platform in March 2024. So, if you’re a local business that heavily relies on the advantages of a verified Google Business Profile, we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you!

This integration is exclusively for business owners with a GMB profile on Google! Or those looking to create one.

It enables all business owners to effortlessly create a professional Brizy website using their Google Business Profiles. After a few adjustments, you can quickly get back online with a more effective website, establish a stronger online presence, engage with customers, and skyrocket your conversions.

Straightaway, allow us to introduce you to this new Brizy AI feature.

Turn your Google My Business listing into a website using Brizy AI

What is the Brizy AI website builder? In case you don’t know, this is an AI website builder developed by Brizy. It was recently released to help local business owners and SaaS agencies like yours build ready-to-use websites instantly by simply providing their business details.

The information you’ll be required to enter includes your site’s name, business category, contacts, and business description. It's the same business information local businesses provide to Google My Business listing to manage their online presence across the Google search engine and its growing portfolio of platforms—like Maps and Search.

Instead of re-entering the same business details again, Brizy thought of integrating its AI builder with Google My Business listing to speed up this initial step of the AI site-building process.

Therefore, if your business already has a Google My Business profile, you can leverage this new Brizy feature to quicken site generation in one click. Brizy AI accurately captures the relevant business details— contacts, location, description, and more to help jumpstart the site-building on your behalf.

The benefits of this integration are enormous. But first, let’s break down this process and see it in action.

How Google My Business integration with Brizy AI works

Initially, it requires 4 simple steps to create a professional website with Brizy AI site builder. These steps involve:

Entering your business name
Next, you’ll have to identify and select your business category. The category is key because it helps search engines determine what kind of searches your business is relevant for.
Then, you’ll provide your business description, contact details, and email (optional). This info helps Brizy generate a curated website.
Finally, you click the Build Website button to create your site.

The Google My Business integration with Brizy AI skips the first three steps. Business owners can still re-enter these details, but the integration “scrapes the steps off”.

Instead, if you have a business listed on Google My Business, just type in your business’s name. Be specific.

Brizy AI searches the name and returns a result. Select the return result after confirming it is yours.

Finally, hit the Build Website button, and that’s it! You’ll have the pre-designed site template ready in a few seconds—usually not more than 30 seconds. You’ll get beautiful templates like these and more.

This is what happens.

After clicking the Build Website button, Brizy AI pulls up the information it needs from your existing Google My Business listing to create your site and curate it. This info is typically your site’s name, contact, business category, and description.

Follow this site-building process step by step from our video tutorial on YouTube:

NOTE: Business owners can regenerate their site’s title & texts, images, typography, colors, and an entire page, or start afresh until the site matches their style and expectations.

If you want to refine your site further, the Brizy site editor gives you 100% full control of every element of your AI-generated site.

NOTE: If you need help editing your website using Brizy Editor, visit the Brizy website builder YouTube channel to learn how to modify various block and inline elements on your new site.

Leveraging the Brizy AI integration with Google My Business to build your sites, or client sites has several benefits. We’ll focus on this next.

Why the Google My Business integration is important

Previously, businesses that didn’t have a website were offered to create a free one instantly using the information in their Google Business Profile.

Many small businesses took advantage of this option and created small, single-page sites to drive traffic, leads, and in-store visits from local searches. Unfortunately, as of June 10, 2024 (just this month), Google has shut down these sites (or services) — which is a huge setback to small businesses.

Therefore, the Google My Business integration with Brizy AI comes at a very crucial time.

It provides an alternative to create more user-friendly Google My Business sites using Brizy

Although Google has stopped offering this service, businesses can still update their profiles with a new website address. This is where Brizy AI steps in. Since the Google Business profile remains intact, small business owners can link Brizy AI to their profiles and generate a professional website using their business information.

You will have full ownership and control of the website. You'll be able to access various customization features, hundreds of design templates, and building blocks to create a business website that truly represents your brand.

Furthermore, Brizy AI also provides user-friendly tools for easily managing and updating your website content. This will help keep your online presence up to date and engaging for your customers. With complete control, you can also drive more traffic to your business.

The benefits of a Google Business Profile are intact

As a business owner, you created a Google Business Profile for a reason. For instance, to increase your visibility, boost your local SEO, increase customer engagement, and receive insightful analytics from Google.

In fact, 98% of consumers used Google local search to find information about local businesses in 2022.

Integrating with Brizy AI site builder ensures that 76% of these local customers end up landing on a site that’s professionally designed to provide them with the best service possible. The benefits of a Google Business Profile aren’t just intact. They are also enhanced with Brizy AI.

Effortless setup

Building a website using an existing Google My Business profile is super easy. The Google Business Profile integration, as we’ve described earlier, requires only you to enter your specific business name in Brizy AI. The AI will search your business name. After selecting it, the AI site builder will generate a site layout to jumpstart your site creation process.

It reduces the time for site creation

The Brizy AI integration with Google My Business profile listing saves time for site creation by skipping the manual entry of your business details. Business owners can start building immediately using the info existing in their profiles.

The integration captures accurate information

Search engines like Google value consistent and accurate business information. They use this information to assess your business credibility and legitimacy, and in return, they reward you with high rankings and a strong online presence. Therefore, Brizy AI captures your details accurately to ensure that your website is consistent and up-to-date. This also helps to strengthen your SEO efforts.

Conclusion

Integrating Google My Business profile with Brizy AI enables small business owners to enjoy the benefits of both worlds.

Having a Google Business profile increases your site’s visibility on local searches, boosts your local SEO, and increases customer trust and engagement. On the other hand, connecting this profile to your Brizy AI website builder speeds up site creation using your business details.

Since Brizy AI accurately captures information in your business profile to build your site, it positively contributes to your local SEO efforts.
