  1. Small Business Community Message Board Shuts Down

  2. It was recently reported at the message board of Google’s “Small Business Community” will shut down and such report has caught a lot of website owners and digital marketers. This is because a lot of small businesses have been using its resources and utilise it for conducting meet ups as well as for sharing of information. Although the shutting down was previously considered as a rumour, the report was confirmed by an official message that was published last January 2, 2019. A portion of the message appeared in an article published by Search Engine Journal, and this revealed that the feature has only a few weeks. The message also hinted that the users could only access the feature until January 16, 2019. 

  3. Due to this announcement, a lot of SEO experts and digital marketers believe that the shutting down of the Google Small Business Community was probably caused by the limited number of users. Such observation was based on the fact that it was only open to a limited number of business owners and a few chosen cities in the US. Also, many experts also believe that the cancellation of the community’s existence was propelled by Google’s failure to open this feature for the use of more cities and in various cities.  Other experts are quite convinced that the cancellation of the Small Business Community can also be blamed for the lack of a clear purpose where the feature can be used. Many business owners, even the smaller ones are not considering this as a tool for communicating with other businesses since they can accomplish such by establishing business connections using more established and popular platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

  4. Given these, the latest decision to shut the Google Small Business Community down marks another failure to Google’s effort to come up and create a well-established social network. Aside from this, it was also reported that Google+ would also be shutting down in the coming months. Thus, it is quite correct to conclude that Google still needs to spend more time and resources to come up with a more established platform that will offer the services that will allow users to communicate and socialise with other entities conveniently.
