Creating a basic website for a business no longer requires technical knowledge or a large investment. Today there are tools that allow you to build a simple, functional, and free website in very little time.
One of the most useful combinations is to use ChatGPT to generate the content and Google Sites to create and publish the website.
With this method, any local business—such as tour guides, accommodations, small restaurants, or artisan projects—can have a clear website to explain their services and facilitate contact with customers.
In this guide, I explain how to create a free website for your business step by step, using accessible tools and without requiring technical knowledge.
Why Many Small Businesses Still Don’t Have a Website
Although the internet is the first place people search for information about services and experiences, many small businesses still don’t have their own website.
The reasons are usually:
- thinking that creating a website is complicated
- believing that you need to hire a web designer
- not having time to develop a complete site
- not knowing what content to include
However, today it is possible to create a simple website in just a few hours using free tools.
For many local businesses, a basic website that explains the services and facilitates contact can be enough to improve online visibility and generate new opportunities.
What Is Google Sites and Why Is It a Good Option for Creating a Free Website
Google Sites is a free Google tool that allows you to create websites visually and very simply.
You don’t need to install anything or have programming knowledge. Everything is managed from the browser.
Among its main advantages are:
- it is completely free
- it allows you to publish a website in just a few minutes
- it integrates with other Google tools
- it works well on mobile
- it is easy to update
For these reasons, Google Sites is a good option for small businesses that need a simple website to display basic information.
How to Use ChatGPT to Create the Content for Your Website
One of the most difficult parts when creating a website is usually writing the texts.
This is where ChatGPT can help you.
You can use it to:
- define the page structure
- write the business introduction
- describe services or products
- create SEO-optimized titles
- organize content into clear sections
For example, you can ask it something like:
“Create the structure for a simple single-page website for a nature tour business, including SEO titles and clear sections.”
In just a few seconds you will get an organized structure that you can adapt to your business.
Real Example: Creating a Website for a Tour Operator in Pijao
To illustrate the process, let’s take a real business as an example.
A local tourism operator in Pijao, in the department of Quindío (Colombia) needed a simple website to explain their hiking tours.
The business offers two main experiences:
- hikes through the wax palm forest
- excursions to the Chili Páramo
The goal was to create a clear page that would allow visitors to:
- learn about available tours
- understand what each tour includes
- easily contact to book
With the help of ChatGPT, the texts and website structure were generated, and the page was subsequently published using Google Sites.
Step by Step to Create a Free Website with ChatGPT and Google Sites
Step 1: Gather Your Business’s Basic Information
Before creating the website, gather the main information:
- business name
- location
- service description
- products or experiences you offer
- duration or characteristics of the service
- contact information
With this information you can generate the website content.
Step 2: Create the Page Structure
A simple structure for a local business website can include:
- business introduction
- services or products
- information about the environment or project
- booking instructions
- Contact
Organizing content into clear sections helps both visitors and search engines.
Step 3: Generate the Texts with ChatGPT
Once the structure is defined, you can ask ChatGPT to write the texts for each section.
For example:
- business description
- service explanation
- contact texts
- search engine optimized titles
You can also request that the content be organized with H1, H2, and H3 headings, which improves the page’s SEO structure.
Step 4: Create the Website in Google Sites
When you have the texts ready, the next step is to build the page.
The process is simple:
- Access Google Sites
- Create a new site
- choose a simple template
- add sections to the page
- copy and paste the texts
- add business images
- publish the site
In less than an hour it is possible to have a functional website.
Step 5: Connect the Website with Google Maps and WhatsApp
For many local businesses, the website functions as a complement to other platforms.
It is recommended to:
- add the website to your Google Business Profile listing
- include a contact link via WhatsApp
- provide clear booking instructions
This makes it easy for people who discover the business on Google to access more information.
