Mike Blumenthal reported on the Google My Business web site builder tool, to enable businesses to create a quick and dirty web site for their business. This is not the first time Google launched a web site builder or landing page tool for Google Maps, plus they have blogger and had Google Sites and other tools.

Obviously, the challenge for Google is to get more advertisers for businesses that do not have web sites. They need to click somewhere, phone calls and SMS messaging only goes so far. So Google is trying a web site builder tool again.

Here is one of many screen shots that Mike posted on his site, see more on his site:

In any event, this was from a week ago, but I was sick and I am still playing a bit of catch up.
