How do you get to the GBP website?

[AlexPete]

Hi there,

Curios to see how you can get to the Google Business Profile website! I don't have the old dashboard anymore, and I don't see a tab for the website from the search.

It's hidden under the contact tab

Thank you, @keyserholiday - I was referring to the Google Site they let you build. Not sure what the name is... google business site?

Thank you, found it!

For the record, this is not there in French. Or at least not for a client who already DOES have a website.

As of today I can see it on every GMB.

I even witched to English to check. No trace of it whatsoever:

The business.site option appears to have been eliminated, for businesses that already have a regular website link listed in the Google Business Profile dashboard...

Yeah, it appears that you have to temporarily remove that URL to get it back. if you want to create one.

I just tested removing the branded URL on 2 GBP locations (one was an Auto Repair Shop & one was a Construction Company) and I didn't get the option to add the business.site:

The situation has changed since this thread was posted. We think Google is clearly planning on a phase out of the feature like they did personalised review URLs.

The new method to get to the website (and also the photos, as it happens!) is described by @Tim Kahlert here: How To Find The Google Business Profile ID. Warning: it's rather convoluted!

Looks like that link was for the Business Profile ID, but I tracked down the other article here:
