As a business owner, I spend part of my time meeting and talking to a lot of small business owners.
In the Philippines, SMEs are close minded and think of a website as waste investment.
The heartbreaking fact is to know only 10% of SMEs in the Philippines has online presence.*
Why?
Because creating a website is too overwhelming, time consuming, expensive and having quality links to your website is important, 90% of SMEs has now opportunity to create a mobile responsive website and custom domain name for FREE.
Thanks to new Website Builder feature of Google My Business.
Google My Business Website feature is a simple tool that allows you to build website in just a few minutes.
It’s super easy and no technical skills needed.
You can customize your website theme, add your business photos and contact details then publish it instantly under your custom domain name.

Then here’s the option where you can choose your preferred custom domain name for your website.
Here is the final look of the website I created in less than 5 minutes:

This is a huge opportunity for all Filipino SMEs to help their potential customers find them online and showcase what their business has to offer.
