Can I use a Facebook page as my website on Google?
No — Google’s Business Profile guidelines do not allow a social media page (like Facebook or Instagram) to be used as your website link. Google now crawls these links automatically and removes the ones that break the rule, and profiles that keep violating the policy risk being suspended entirely. If your Google listing points at a Facebook page, replace it with a real website as soon as possible.
What the policy says
Under Google’s business-links guidelines, the website link must lead to a real, working site for your business — not a social profile, link shortener, or messaging link.
What actually happens
Google’s automated crawlers check links and strip non-compliant ones, removing your “Website” button. Repeat or broader violations can lead to full profile suspension, which removes you from Maps and Search until an appeal is approved.
The fix
Get a real website — even a fast, simple 5-page site — and set it as your Google listing’s website. This protects the listing and gives customers somewhere to convert.

Will Google delete my listing for using a Facebook page?
Google removes the non-compliant link automatically and can suspend profiles that keep violating the policy. It’s a real risk worth fixing promptly.
What should I use instead of a Facebook page?
A real website on your own domain. It satisfies Google’s policy and converts visitors far better than a social page.
