Google Adds 100+ Domains, Signals Plans For National Small Biz Push

Google appears to be readying plans to roll out its “Get Your Business Online” program across the U.S. That’s based on Mike Blumenthal’s discovery that Google has recently added more than 100 domains to its portfolio, with URLs such as coloradogetonline.com, dakotagetonline.com, getoregononline.com, getpennsylvaniaonline.com, newyorkgetonline.com, northcarolinagetonline.com, ohiogetonline.com, etc. Get Your Business Online is Google’s outreach […]

google-get-business-onlineGoogle appears to be readying plans to roll out its “Get Your Business Online” program across the U.S.

That’s based on Mike Blumenthal’s discovery that Google has recently added more than 100 domains to its portfolio, with URLs such as

coloradogetonline.com, dakotagetonline.com, getoregononline.com, getpennsylvaniaonline.com, newyorkgetonline.com, northcarolinagetonline.com, ohiogetonline.com, etc.

Get Your Business Online is Google’s outreach program for small businesses. It offers them a free website, free hosting, domain name, a business listing on Google Places and additional marketing help. The freebies are good for one year, and cost a nominal fee after that.

There’s also a $75 AdWords credit, which speaks at least partially to Google’s business motive here: The more new AdWords advertisers Google attracts, the better for Google’s bottom line.

Get Your Business Online launched earlier this year with programs in Canada at GYBO.ca, in Ireland at GettingBusinessOnline.ie and in Australia at GettingBusinessOnline.com.au. Its U.S. debut happened last month in Texas, and as Blumenthal reports, Google recently offered the program in Vermont.

With 100+ new domains, it looks like the other 48 states are in Google’s crosshairs, too.
