It has been just over a month since Google My Business rolled out Google Websites worldwide<\/a>. It appears that as of a few minutes ago, Google has passed a quarter of million sites<\/a> built using the tool. That is roughly 40,000 sites per week, an average of 5681 per day since introduction.<\/p>\n

In the first two weeks, Google added<\/a> 100,000 sites. Google has essentially maintained that growth rate for the past two weeks, adding 104,000 sites since June 27th. This is only counting sites that didn’t buy their own domain. I am not sure that there many of those but there are likely a few.<\/p>\n

Every few days since just prior to introduction I have been doing a site:business.site<\/a> search at Google to get a sense of the ramp up. While admittedly an imprecise measure, it provides some idea of the rate and volume of sites created.<\/p>\n

India has the most sites clocking in at a total of 44,600.\u00a0Indonesia has ~30,400. The\u00a0United States and Brazil check in at 16,200 and 15,800 respectively. This speaks to Google’s stated goal<\/a> of attacking the (very) small business market in the developing world.<\/p>\n

Here is a rough breakdown by country where the Websites were created (note that if there is a __ in the result it means that I did the country search in the native language) :
