The Offer Specifications

Only local New York business owners are eligible for the offer (after proving they really own a New York local business). The main partner of Google on the program is Intuit, a small business service provider that provides the hosting and the site builder among other things. The free online business offer includes:

  • Domain name for one year.
  • Web hosting for one year.
  • Local business listing in Google Places.
  • $75 credit in Google AdWords.
  • Web tools and resources (site builder).
  • One website for one business. Person with several businesses can receive one free website for each business.

As stated this is a one-year offer and to keep running the website after, it will cost $7 per month ($2 domain + $5 hosting). Also, websites can be built only with Intuit SiteBuilder (drag and drop program) and with no other program.

Is There a Catch?

Google are stating that they want to help growing the economy- There are 27.5 million small businesses which responsible for 50% of the whole U.S. GDP and for 66% of the American employment. Additionally, 97% of American consumers are searching online for products and services and only 48% of small businesses in New York have a “face” online (website).

While there isn’t any obvious catch, Google is encouraging the eligible small business owners to use Google AdWords to advertise (with $75 free credit incentive) and to use Google AdSense for advertising. Therefore, when providing free $100 (more or less) website yearly service (domain+hosting) it is actually much lesser or even eventual profit. At any case, we shouldn’t be ungrateful because in the end, Google still subsidizing free website.
