Preview sites

Some local businesses have no website. A preview site shows the owner what one could look like.

SiteRevive builds it for you. It costs you nothing. It uses only what Google lists for the business.

Who gets one

A business with no website of its own. That includes a business whose only link is a booking page, a social page, a free site-builder page or a listing.

A business with its own website does not get one. A business that said no thanks never gets one.

Make one

  1. Open the lead in Manage Leads.
  2. Find the Preview site card.
  3. Press Generate preview.
  4. Press Copy link.

The page uses the name, the kind of business, the phone, the address and the stars from Google. Anything Google does not list is a plain placeholder. The page states no fact that Google did not.

What the owner sees

A banner says Preview — not live. A note says placeholder parts are examples.

The link is private. Only people who have the link can open it. Search sites are told to skip it.

To see a finished site, open the sample sites.

Use it

Read the link out when you call. Or send it yourself. SiteRevive never emails the owner for you.

When the owner opens it

Viewed the preview site shows on the lead's Activity tab. That is true for the owner, or for anyone they pass it on to.

Your own opens do not count while you are signed in. Opened signed out, it is counted like any other open.

Change it

  • Regenerate builds the page again at the same link.
  • Disable link turns the link off. Anyone who opens it sees a not-found page.
  • Re-enable turns the same link back on.

Nothing here puts a page on the owner's real domain. A preview is a way to start a talk.
