If you're watching this video then Chances are you're one of the 31 million Website owners whose website will be Turned off by Google because Google is Shutting down the websites created with Google business profile by the end of February and by June they'll be just Redirected to a page not found error uh That means the entire website will be Completely gone from the internet so if You're one of those people then this is The perfect video for you because in This video I'm going to show you and Teach you step by step how to create Your own website just like you had with Google business profile and it's Absolutely easy you don't have to have Any Technic skills it's very very visual So you can design your website right Here with me while watching this video And I'm going to share every single step It's not a 3our tutorial just a 20 Minutes video where you can just do it Step by step all right so if you're Ready then just grab a cup of Cofe and We can get started so now that you're on Board let me talk about how we'll be Building a website we'll be building a Website with WordPress now there are Other Solutions out there to build Websites but WordPress is the world's Most popular website building software Technically 44% of the entire internet Websites the entire internet websites
Are built with WordPress and WordPress The software is completely free to use And it's very easy it's open source There are tons of advantages of using WordPress so if you're considering other Solutions just watch this small video And then decide for yourself if this is Something that you can use to build your Website all right with that let's get Into the technical Parts a little bit And it's definitely easy so to build a Website you need two things you need a Domain name and you need hosting what's A domain name a domain name is something That people can type into the computer Inside the browser to actually reach the Site so uh google.com is a domain name Amazon.com is the domain name and W Beginner which is our website is also a Domain name and the hosting is with what Powers the website so the easiest Example I can give you is having a phone Number right a phone number is a domain Name because that's what people can use To call you but the Sal service which is The back end or how these numbers are Connected together is the hosting for uh The cell cell towers so the having the Phone number and sell sell service is Are both important for you to actually Make calls so similarly you need the Domain name so that people people can Find your website but to actually host Your website you also need the hosting
In the back end so I'm going to uh tell You the easiest way to get both at a Ridiculously low price which is Something you cannot I say Miss so go to Your computer and type this URL in on The browser which will take you to a Special offer just for you guys so that You can get domain name and hosting both At a combined ridiculous price so the URL is uh https SL wb.com Slre slbl host so this is a referal link To blue host if you enter this also Place the URL on the screen and I'll Just place it there so you can actually Copy this and go to the website right Now this will bring you to this page This is blue host which is one of the Most I say popular and well-recognized Hosting providers on the internet this Can help you host your website and They'll also give you a domain name for Free with this special offer so us Usually domain name can anywhere be Between $10 to $20 a year so you'll save That money and just get a single plan Which will offer you both and the entire Pricing starts at just1 199 month it's Ridiculous right so you get hosting and Domain name for this if you want to go And see the specifics you can go here And see the different kinds of plans They have you can see all the features Here and if you let's say want to build More than one website you can go with
The some of the other plans as well they Are not very expensive too so in this Case what I'm going to do is select the Basic plan and click the select button And we'll skip because I'm not creating An online store let's skip it and we'll Reach the pricing or the billing page Now all you have to do is just add some Information here so this is a new thing Which I'm also discovering what you can Do is again uh as I said uh you get a Domain name for completely free so what You can do is just click here and Register a new domain name which is Available for free uh with the your with Your plan so let's say if you have a Landscaping business you can just type In uh your name landscaping.com Something like that and choose Appropriate business name or choose Choose appropriate domain name that'll Go well with how your you want to Represent your brand so for example if You are in the Texas region so I say you You can say Texas uh Roofing uh.com or Something similar that can easily Identify your brand with just the domain Name so all you have to do is register a Domain name here and then you can just Add it to your account and proceed now I'm going not going to be making a Purchase because I'm just building this Website for you guys so in this case What you can do is just add it here
Search for domain name find an available Domain name add it to your account and Proceed I'll just click choose domain Later because I just proceed to The Next Step which is probably billing so let's Open that up and see so yeah this is the Billing page all you have to do is just Check everything which is added here and What you can do is you can also remove The optional U features that Bluehost Adds to your account so example you can Uh see the site lock is here you can Just take it off and you also have the Code guard you can also take it off and This will bring down your price to the Actual appropriate number and you get a Professional email for free as well with The domain name so that's completely Something that you can utilize so once You happy with the pricing check Everything that is completely fine just Click continue to check out and this Will bring you to the pricing page where You can actually just finish and make The purchase now I already have a blue Host account I was just giving you a Demonstration so the pricing plan will Open up just have to add your card Details payment info and finish the Purchase once you finish the purchase You'll have an account created on Blu Host and a couple of things will have Happen more importantly you'll get an Email from Bluehost which will just give
You a link to access your admin or Access your account on Bluehost and once You've done that you'll get access to The back end of blue host so where You'll be able to access your account so Once you're there I'll pause the video For a second make sure to check your Email make sure to finish the purchase Then check your email and then click and Go inside uh the blue host account and Actually just log in and once you're There you can then follow along this Video so I'll pause this video here and We'll resume inside blue host admin area All right this is blue host admin area Which you can see now since I already Had an account I have a lot of websites Created in my account when you start With this you might uh land on the Homepage here or you might land on some Other areas what I want you to do is Just go to the website section and You'll see a similar interface now I Have tons of sites here you might not Have uh many sites or technically you Will not have any website so you'll see This area completely blank that's Completely all right we'll start Creating or start the process of Creating a site now so find the ad site Button for me it's in here it might be Here somewhere here for you so click This to start the process of actually Creating a website and we'll choose the
Default option which is install WordPress because that's what we've been Using to create a website and we'll Click continue and now you'll get a site A title now think of the title as the Title of a book which is what people Will find your as a website with and It's also Ed utilized by Google to Understand what your business about so You can change this later so don't worry If you if not uh don't have the right Answer right now but I would want you to Have uh the site title as something That's a combination of your brand and Also something that describes your Business so let's say if you have a Great brand name say uh in a landscaping Business so you can say uh how do I Phrase this let's say Patrick's Landscaping services now Patrick's is Just a name that I've just made up enter Your brand name there so describe your Or include your brand name but also Describe your business here so that uh Google and other search engines can also Recognize what this website is about and Don't worry I'll also show you once this Is done how to change it so later let's Say if you just enter something as a Dummy information here you'll be able to Change it later once this is done click The continue button which will take you The next step now here what you'll do is
The add the domain name that was added To your account this is important choose The right domain name so whatever you Chose XY Landscaping Roofing or HX Services or whatever service business You have enter the right domain name or Select it from from the drop down and Add it here since I did not purchase a Domain name just for this demonstration I'll be going with a temporary domain Name you should be adding your domain Name here and then proceed to next step All right so I'll just use the temporary Domain again make sure to add your Domain here because this is a part where Your domain name and your website will Be connected together so let's click Continue and now WordPress is now being Installed and you don't have to do Anything once this process is done which Will take a couple of minutes your Website will technically already be live On the internet that's how easy it is so Once this is done your website will be Live I'll show you how to log into the Back end and actually start designing Your website because once WordPress is Installed it'll give you just a basic I Say uh a templated version of how your Website will look like I'll also teach You how to customize it in the simplest Way possible so once this is done I'll Resume the video and I show you what Next steps you should take to configure

Prod Builder now this is something very Very exciting because this will make Your job so much easier when you're Designing a website so first of all let Me describe how the process works on the Right hand side of the screen is where You see the final output of your page on The left side is uh let say elements and Blocks and widgets that you can add Think of them as stacking or adding Lego Lego blocks or like fitting pieces of a Puzzle to create a page together if I Just want to show you the actual page I Can just click on this Arrow here to Hide the menu and this is a visual idea Of how the page will look like and the Best part is whatever you see on the Screen is completely customizable so we Can change the text we can change the Image we can change the logo we can Change the buttons everything is Customizable so I'm going to show you How to create a page with this uh Entirely from scratch once again I'll go To the left corner of the screen click This Arrow to bring this back and I'm Going to start customizing the page so First thing what we'll need to do is we We're going to need to replace this Image of cost because we're not in the Business of serving food right for Example I'm just creating website for Landscaping services so what we can do Is whenever you want to customize
Anything inside seet brush you just have To click on it and the settings for that Relevant uh widget or block will appear Here so if I click here now you see the Image block is open it has some settings You have some design settings the Easiest thing I would recommend is uh You can do is just click how over it and You click the orange button which will Open up the media library inside WordPress and you'll be able to uh Add new elements or add new images which You can have on the screen so I'll just Move this around a little bit just to Make it simple and what I'm going to do Is I already have a couple of images I Say downloaded on my computer but what You can do is you can go to a website Called unsplash.com I'll place the URL On the screen and search for whatever Images uh suit your business the best And this is a website where most of the Images are completely free to download Which commercial licenses you can do Anything so don't worry about any Licensing fee so so for example if I do Landscape and search for it you'll see a Lot of landscape images will come up I Can also search for landscaping so I'll Just go Here and you can find tons of images Here I already have a couple of images So what you can do is you can also Change the orientation because this
Image what we are dealing with here here Is uh a vertical image so I would prefer To find a landscape image so let's say This is image that looks good you can Download it or you can just change the Orientation to Portrait here sorry I I Mentioned landscape we dealing with Portrait images so you can just download These images use them on your site I Already have an image so what I'm going To do is just drag and drop the image From my computer here to this website Here and you can see I'm hovering over It I'll let it go and automatically Start uploading the image to my site Once this is done I'll click Select and now image has been uploaded It's that easy this is why I Recommending seed prod it makes your Life easier so now I want to change the Title to something else right we solve Your dinner problems is in a landscaping Title so we'll say uh we solve your Landscaping problem so I'll just click Here and this let let it load up so what We can do is we can just click and Actually just edit things here right on The page or you can just go here and Edit as well so we solve your uh Landcaping problems all right so now What you see here is that even though uh We have set this up correctly a couple Of orientation things you might want to Space things around and that's
Completely possible with seat Pro as Well so if I just keep hovering you'll See different borders appearing on the Section so the two column layout I want To just make the columns a little more Separated so what I'll do is just hover Over this and when I find this blue area I'll just click this button here which Is called resize columns because I want To space them part a little bit so once I click this option you'll see the width Option come up here I'll just make sure That it is something that I can use now You don't have to do this if your title Fits completely on the screen I'm just Showing that hey uh even though um the Visual elements can be added you can Still customize and fine-tune the look Of your website if you need to or have To to make sure everything fits on the Screen now this part is completely done Right so we have added the title here we Have added an image and of course you Can do the same thing for this text here And you can just delete it and say we Are The Best Landscaping service Business you'll Ever work with now I'm not the best Copyright in the world so you figure out What's the best way to write this and Same thing for buttons so if I click This button here I can just change let's
Talk instead of let's cook so I've just Created or made changes to the upper Part of the section of the website and The lower part we'll just deal with uh It uh once we done with the upper part So on the top I want to have my logo Appear so what I'll do is I'll click This button and this is an image that's Been added to the site so what I'm going To do is click this and once again I'll Have the option of adding my own logo so I'll just do is drag and drop a dummy Logo that I've just downloaded for a Landscaping business just for this Demonstration and it's here let's select It and now we have this now it's a Little too big here so I can do is Change the size to let's say 100 pixels And that looks fine to me we can also Maybe just take it a notch down to let's Say around 75 pixels and that looks Better so again I was able to not only Upload images also resize them here so I'm building the website live with you In front of you it's instead of just What I'm doing you can just add your own Logo add your own headlines add your own Images and you'll create this entire Website with me that's how easy it is to Use seat plot now for this button I Don't think this button is very useful I'm going to show you how to do some Exciting things on the page as well so What I can do is I I I don't think I
Need this I'll just click this delete Button here which will just delete this Button off here so I'll have the option Of adding something here but I don't Think I need to now going back here or Going down here there are three Different sections here which we can Utilize to highlight some Services right So um what I'll do is I'll start with This one this green section and and I'll Replace this image with a nice Green Landscape just to fit with the theme and Then we'll change the title here and the Headline here so once again I'll click This section this will bring up me or Bring me to the image section I'll click Images and then what I'll do is I have Another image that I downloaded just for This purpose again from unsplash.com Everything I downloaded from is from Unsplash uh I'll just drag and drop it Here and let it upload on the site and Once it's done I'll click select and This image is now uploaded of course It's a little too big so I'll just Change the size to something like maybe 400 pixels by 400 pixels so it fits and I'll change the fit type to cover and Maybe I'll need to change the width to 450 to make sure it fits now 450 is Little too thin maybe 500 yep so 500 by 400 pixels is fine it Covers the entire image and it looks Beautiful with the section here so what
I'll do is just change this To um what what can I say uh let's do The Best service or best Not so once again I just added a dummy Headline don't don't look at the how the Headlines I'm creating it's just Something that I'm not very skilled at So once this is done now I don't like The left alignment of the headline I Want to be justified so again once the Images or once the text is highlighted The automatic options appear here I can Just click this Center Line button and Now the headline is centered it looks Much better in my opinion and again I Can change this text to uh something we Provide the best Landscaping services in the world Something like that so once again again This is done and I can change this again To be central line this also looks fine Let's work with this headline now and Again once again I'll replace this image With something else so I'll click here And I have another image that I Downloaded from unsplash I'll just drag And drop it Here and let it Load once it's done I'll just go here And click the select button and now the Image should upload here yep once again I'll change the image size to around 450 Pixels on the
Width and around let's say 400 pixels on The height of 450 yeah and I'll just change the object Fit to fill or cover and this looks Better what I'll do is change the width To 500 and height to maybe 400 now 450 or 500 looked better all Right so okay this a mismatch so I'll Just change the height to 450 so that The height of both the elements are the Same so once again I'm just giving a Demonstration of everything that you see It's not just like drag and drop you Still have fine grain control that you Can exercise to make sure everything Looks great on the site and of course I'm just using this as a reference you Can actually just go and change the Green color to something else as well so If I click here on the section you see The background color option here I can Just change the color of this green if Let's say green is is not something I Want to highlight right and similar Thing if I just hover over this section You see I just click here so now this is A background color is deep purple or Magenta shade I can actually change this As well I was just trying this out so I Saw this that this is something that the Images will go fine with the colors or Default colors you can change this to Your brand colors as well and the third

Give you a step-by-step instructions as I've been giving throughout the video on How to actually do it so first thing you Need to do is uh go and find your Business uh business's Google uh Business or Google Business listing so What I did was I just went to Google and I searched for landing business in San Ant Antonio now you you can also search For your business directly the idea Being that you have to find your Business listing right here in Google Something like this so I'm just using This business as an example Alamo City Tree services and Landscaping so what You have to do is just one thing you Have to click the share button here and Just copy and click and copy this link So what this link does I'll just open it In a new tab just to show you it Directly directly links to your Google Business page so here users can visitors Can see more images about this they can See reviews they can directly call you As well and we can do or add many of These features directly on the site as Well but having this information on Google is much more trustworthy than a New website that a visitor is just Visiting for the first time so that's Why it's important to have this linked Out right so what I'm going to do is Since I already have the link copied I'm Just go back to my seat plot Builder
Here and what we are going to do is um Just add a couple of buttons on the page So that we can just link those buttons To the UR directly so we had this button Here already which I deleted so we can Just add a new button back on the page I Just go to the block section here I'm Going drag a button I'm going to let go Here so this button says call to action I'm going to click here and I'll just Say button's Name uh see this business on Google right it's a little too long Let's try and shorten this if you Can Google Business listing all right so I think That's pretty decent but let's say we Can let's try and see if we can make the Button size a little smaller yeah that Makes a little more sense and what we Have to do is just add the link here Like this and I'll just click the gear Icon here just to add open in a new Window so when users actually click this It opens up a new tab so that they don't Lose your website so I've just done this Already what I can do is uh duplicate This or I can just add it one more again On the page so I'm going to do just do It once again and let's do this after or Just before the inquiry form because Users that's where the trust building Factor is the most important right so
Once again I'm going to click this nine Dotted menu here which will bring me Back to the blocks I'll just take the Button block once again I just drag it And make sure to just leave it and drop It just above the make an inquiry form So that now we have the call to action Button once again I'm going to say uh Check out my Business on Google Now I can make this longer Because the button width is a little Longer so uh based on that this button Makes lot of sense here now if I want to Make this color stand out I can actually Go into the templates and you see Predefined Styles here or you can go Into the advanced Tab and change the Typography button style background color Padding and all kinds of things as well So if I want to make the button arounded I can just do this and technically I can Do the same thing on the top button just Make it a little longer but it might Just be a little too much for you to do Uh from scratch so here's how you Customize uh the basic things going back To the content you'll just paste the Link here once again once again I'm Going to do uh open in new window and Once this is done now we have Successfully added Google listing Business listing button here and here And you can repeat this process any
Number of times right if you want to Have this button here you can just add It here and you can add more information And technically you can actually add More pages to your site as well so if You want to create another page just to Highlight customer dtim mods just Another page for services another page For something else you can just do that And just add a menu here to link out to The different pages or just add the Details here and then users can actually Go out and click other pages and see Those pages as well it's completely up To you how do you want to design this Website my first priority was just to Explain to you how to build the first Onepage website which was a replacement Or is a replacement for the websites Built with Google business profile all Right once this is done once again I'll Just click save and once it's saved Let's see once the saving is done we'll Go back to this page I'll refresh it and Now we see the Google Business listing Button here if I click on it you'll Notice that it opens up in a new tab Directly to that business listing so That's how you do it if I scroll down Here you'll see this button here as well Now one important thing to understand is That the reviews that you saw on this Google Business listing page right here And also the testimonials and even a
