Things Google does not do
I was talking with a friend this weekend who told me that he had received a call from Google and that they had offered to build a website for him and charge him a monthly fee. My friend is an accountant and he has been considering getting a website. Thus, he was considering the offer.
My first reaction was that Google does not do that and who ever spoke to my friend was misleading him. Google does many things, many things I probably don't know about. I've never heard of them offering to build websites for people. If Google were to offer a service like that would it be optimized to rank well in their search engine? If the answer is "yes" then this is a clear conflict of interest. If the answer is "no" then why would you want them to build a site for you.
Google does offer tools for building websites. This blog is made with Blogger which Google owns. Google also offers free hosting and domains however pages that are hosted on their servers rarely rank well.
Anyway, if someone tells you that Google will build you a website and charge you monthly for it do yourself a favour and hang up.
