  3. Publish your site for $0 with your Google account Sign in with Google to publish your site on Heya Free for $0 with no credit card required. Your site is published at yourname.heya.bio over HTTPS, and you can do the entire build and edit process on a phone.

How Google Business Profile handles websites and profile rules

Google Business Profile lets you add or edit a website link along with your hours, phone number, chat, and social media links. Before your business shows up on Search, Maps, and other Google services, you have to add or claim your profile and verify it, and some businesses can't change their info until verification is done.

To make edits, sign in to the linked Google Account on Google Search, Google Maps, or the Google Maps mobile app (features can vary by app and operating system). Google Business Profile reviews submitted edits before publishing them live. Google might also confirm details through automated call, text, or WhatsApp messages, and other people can suggest edits to your profile too.

Domain, hosting, and plan limits that matter when choosing a replacement

If you want a free live site without a credit card, our Heya Free plan ($0) gives you up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each at yourname.heya.bio, and Wix Free ($0) publishes on a free Wix domain. Durable's $0 Free plan only gives you a private preview, so you need the $22/m Launch plan or $41/m Grow plan to go live and get a custom domain.

Heya Pro Standard ($6 a month) includes up to 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account. Wix includes one free for 1 year when you buy an annual Premium plan starting at $17 per month. Google Sites allows up to five custom domains per site and 20 mappings per week, using a subdomain like www and Google Search Console DNS TXT verification.

What to put on your business website and common mistakes to avoid

Put your main details right up top so they match the address, hours, and phone number on your Google Business Profile. On Heya, you can use the socials block to link your email, phone, website, and 29 networks, plus embed Google Maps and a Calendly page for bookings. Our sites use HTTPS, get a sitemap.xml and robots.txt, and are open to search engines unless you turn on Hide from Google.

Don't pick a builder that's missing a tool you need. On Heya, you can embed a Calendly scheduling page and link buttons to a Google Form or your checkout page, while Durable is a general small-business builder rather than a dedicated e-commerce store. And if you use Google Sites, don't move a site with a custom domain into a Team Drive or the domain can stop working.
