Google Maps to website builders, compared

Clay, at clay.site, says it will “turn your Google business listing into a live website in minutes.” Its FAQ answers “How long does it take?” with “Less than a minute.” You type your business name and it finds your Google listing, photos, reviews and hours. The free plan is listed as “free forever on name.clay.site”, and you edit the site yourself: “you tap the thing and change the thing.”

Pro is €29 a month and, in Clay’s words, covers “your own domain, we register it, point it here and keep it renewed”. Over a year that is €348. Its page also lists bookings, a menu, a shop and an email list, and says it re-reads your Google listing every night.

This is clay.site, the website builder. It is not clay.com, a sales data tool with a similar name.

Where Clay is stronger: you edit straight on the live page, and it lists bookings and a shop. Where we differ: you make changes by typing in a chat, our paid plan includes unlimited changes that our team also makes on request, and our yearly price with a domain is $129 (€110).

MapToPage (mapto.page/en) turns a Google Maps link into a site. Its English page says you “can publish a complete site on a mapto.page address at no cost.” Pro is listed at $39 a year and Business at $99 a year, shown as discounted from $59 and $149. Pro removes the MapToPage branding and lets you connect your own domain; Business adds a contact and booking form that emails you each enquiry. It does not state a build time.

Its default site is in Vietnamese and its Vietnamese page lists prices in Vietnamese dong, so the price you see may depend on your market.

Where MapToPage is stronger: a yearly plan with your own domain, listed at $39 a year. Where we differ: our price includes the domain, and on our paid plan our team also makes changes for you on request.

Blyn (useblyn.com) is an “AI website builder for small businesses” built from your Google Maps listing. Its FAQ says: “Most websites are generated in under a minute.” The free plan, called Starter, is $0 a month for one website on a Blyn subdomain, with Blyn branding. Pro is $9.99 a month and adds custom domains, up to 5 websites and no branding. Beast Mode is a one-time $9 per build.

For a custom domain, Blyn says: “You register the domain yourself with any registrar, then point it at Blyn.” It also says your site “stays synced with your Google Maps listing including hours, photos, and updates.”

Where Blyn is stronger: automatic sync with your Google listing, low monthly prices, and Beast Mode, a one-page site for $9 once with hosting and a domain connection included. Where we differ: the domain is included on our paid plan, and our team makes changes for you on request.

Placesite AI (placesiteai.com/en) lets you “create a website from your Google Business Profile”, and its page description says this takes minutes. You can start free with no card; its terms say free accounts are limited to 1 generated website and 3 generation attempts per 24 hours. Free sites publish to a placesiteai.com subdomain.

The Standard plan is listed at €50 a year as a promotional price, normally €100, and supports your own domain, which you connect by adding two DNS records. You edit the content, design, photos, reviews, contact details and opening hours yourself. Extra site languages cost extra.

Where Placesite AI is stronger: a low yearly price during the promotion and full control of the content. Where we differ: the domain is included on our paid plan, you make changes by typing in a chat, and our team makes them for you on request.

blasa (blasa.shop) offers “a free website for your business, written by your Google reviews.” You “paste one Google Maps link”, and it says the site is “published free in minutes” on its own blasa.shop address, with no signup needed. The free plan is “free forever” and shows one small labelled ad and a “Made with blasa” badge.

Pro is $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. It removes the ad and the badge, adds a drag-and-drop block editor and connects your own domain, which you buy from a registrar.

Where blasa is stronger: no signup needed to publish, and a low Pro price. Where we differ: our paid plan includes the domain, and you make changes by typing in a chat instead of using a drag-and-drop editor.

Designhouse (designhouse.com) calls itself an AI website builder for your business. You can start from a Google listing, a website address or a short description, and it says it “plans, builds, and publishes your site online in minutes.” The free plan publishes your first website on a designhouse.site address with a “Made with Designhouse” badge and a one-time set of credits, and no card is needed.

You change the site by chat, and credits pay for that work. Starter is €10 a month and removes the badge. Pro is €20 a month and includes a domain name registered in your name and renewed while you stay on the plan, or you connect one you already own. Over a year, Pro is €240. Agency plans for several client sites are €50 and €100 a month.

Where Designhouse is stronger: you can start from a description or a website as well as a Google listing, it can generate images for your site, and it has plans for agencies. Where we differ: changes on our paid plan are unlimited and use no credits, our team also makes them for you on request, and our yearly price with a domain is $129 (€110).
