Understanding Manual Business Creation
ClickGrow now allows businesses to get started without needing a website.
Previously, a website was required so our AI could scan and learn about your business automatically. Now, you can manually enter your business information and instantly create a fully functional business profile inside ClickGrow.
This is perfect for:
Local businesses without websites
New startups
Service-based businesses
Social media-only brands
Businesses using only Google Business Profile or Facebook
Agencies onboarding clients quickly
Even without a website, ClickGrow’s AI can still generate content snippets and build a Business Profile to help power your marketing.
