Build several sites at once

Build a site for each business on a list or in a CSV.

Build several sites at once

Build a site for each of a list of businesses, up to 200 at a time. You get one email when the last has finished.

  1. Choose New site, then Build several sites at once, under the box.
  2. List the businesses, one per line: a link to its Google Maps page, or a sentence or two about it. A line can have a Google Maps link and a few words about the business.
  3. Check the list. Each line says what its site is built from, or why it can't be built: those are left out.
  4. Choose Build.

Each site is built like any other: it uses a build's credits, and your team needs credits for all of them before any starts. See Plan and credits. Big batches wait their turn, and a single build goes first, so the last ones take a while. Find them on Sites, where each shows its build.

Use a CSV

Choose Upload a CSV to build from a spreadsheet instead. Its first row names the columns:

  • description: a sentence or two about the business;
  • google: the link to its Google Maps page;
  • name, location, phone, email and booking: the facts to put on its site.

Each row needs a description or a Google Maps link. Remove the file to go back to typing.

Google Maps links

Open the business in Google Maps and copy the full page address from your browser. Short links, such as the ones the Share button makes, can't be read in a list. Sites built from a list don't use the listing's photos or reviews; to use them, build that site on its own and choose them there.
