Yesterday we reported that regardless of Google saying they might shutdown and redirect the Google Enterprise Profile web sites on March 1st – they were still working. Properly, as of this morning, March 5, 2024, these web sites not work.
As a substitute, as Google promised, they’re redirecting to the Google Enterprise Profile on Google Maps.

As a reminder, this redirect will cease working within the subsequent couple of months after which individuals who go to these outdated Google Enterprise Profile URLs, will find yourself no the place.
Google up to date its help page this morning to say, “As of March 5, 2024, web sites made with Google Enterprise Profiles are not out there and prospects that go to your website will probably be redirected to your Enterprise Profile as an alternative.” It goes on to learn, “Your prospects will solely be redirected to your Enterprise Profile till June 10, 2024. After that, prospects will get a “Web page not discovered” error after they attempt to go to your web site.”
