What's new
We ship constantly. Here's what's new on the platform — see live system status anytime.
Your installable app now works on your own domain
When your site is live on your own connected domain, visitors can now add it to their phone's home screen and open it full-screen — just like on your growmywebsite.com address. Your app icon, name, colors, install prompt and in-app menu bar all work at your domain's root, and 'See it on your phone' in the App Builder now opens your real domain. Sites on a growmywebsite.com address are unchanged.
A guided tour for your first build
First time in the builder? A step-by-step walkthrough now points out where everything is — edit a block, preview on a phone, load a sample, and publish — so you always know your next click. Already built a site? It stays out of your way.
An AI receptionist for your phone line
Pair a business phone number with an AI receptionist that answers calls and texts around the clock — greeting callers in your business's voice, answering from your site's real information, following your business hours, and taking a voicemail or forwarding after hours. Set the greeting and hours under Phone in your dashboard. Rolling out on Pro+.
Every template looks finished the moment you open it
We rewrote the sample content across the template catalog so every ready-made site reads like a real, polished business — realistic copy in each industry's own voice, cleaner sections, and no empty-looking gaps — instead of fill-in-the-blank instructions. The cinematic scroll effects and motion all stay; only the words and layout polish changed. Everything remains clearly sample content you swap for your own, and nothing — reviews, stats, logos — is ever fabricated.
Get a memorable business number — and keep it yours
A new Custom Numbers page lets you search local and toll-free numbers — including vanity numbers that spell a word — and claim one for your business. Numbers stay yours with no lock-in: bring one in from another carrier, or move it back out whenever you want. Each number is tied to your own brand and handles both calls and SMS.
Privacy, Terms & Impressum in German and French
Visitors in Germany and France now get our legal pages — privacy policy, terms, and a full Impressum — in their own language, with the statutory structure EU sites are expected to have.
Your site speaks your customers' language
When you build in another language, the AI now writes every heading, section, feature, and FAQ in that language natively — not a translation of English — and built-in buttons like 'Order' and 'Chat on WhatsApp' appear in your language too, across 14 languages.
Agencies: a Clients hub built for month-end
A new Clients hub shows your whole book of business in one view — every client site with its latest score and the change over the past month, its report send history, a 'Report overdue' badge when a scheduled report hasn't gone out, and portal status, with links into the right tool for each. White-label got tighter too: client reports now send with your agency name as the From-name, and portal links inside reports use your verified custom domain instead of ours.
Custom domains: every page at a clean URL
If your site runs on your own domain, its sub-pages, legal pages, and collection items now render at clean root URLs on that domain — and paths that don't exist return a real 404 instead of every path serving the homepage. Navigation and footer links stay host-relative on your domain, so visitors never bounce back to ours.
Customer Reviews — collect real reviews from your customers (free)
Every plan, including Free, can now collect genuine customer reviews. Share your site's review link, and customers leave a name, star rating, and short review — no login needed. You approve or hide each one from the new Reviews page in your dashboard, and only approved reviews appear on your published site in the new Customer reviews block. Nothing shows until you approve something, and there are no imported, seeded, or example reviews anywhere.
Email marketing: pick exactly who gets each campaign
Campaigns no longer have to go to everyone. Send to hand-picked contacts, contacts from one source, or one client site's list (per-site segmentation, built for agencies) — selection only ever narrows the audience, so an unsubscribed contact can never be emailed. You can also schedule a campaign to send later, and every campaign now reports opens and clicks.
Help Center — 28 plain-language guides
The Help Center at /help now covers the whole journey in 28 searchable, plain-language articles: creating your account, building and publishing your site, connecting a domain, collecting reviews, email campaigns, billing and regional pricing, team approvals, and the agency tools. There's also a start-to-finish 'how to grow your website' guide at /grow-your-website.
Pricing shows how you actually pay — like M-Pesa in Kenya
The pricing page now shows your country's real payment options for the annual plan — in Kenya that's 'M-Pesa or card', billed in shillings — with geo-aware payment badges instead of another region's brands. Regional (purchasing-power) pricing keeps applying automatically at checkout.
Website builder v2 — columns, inline editing & autosave
The builder grew up. An Elementor-style structure picker gives you 2, 3, or 4 columns in even or uneven widths, and any widget can go inside any column. Double-click any text to edit it right on the canvas, and your work now autosaves quietly as you type. Also new: per-block 'Show on' visibility (everywhere, desktop, or phones), automatic image compression on upload, a 'Finish your site' checklist, one-tap template imagery from a seeded photo search, a Guesthouse & Tours template, and Kiswahili as the 12th language your published site can be read in.
Pay with crypto — prepay a year in Bitcoin
For buyers who'd rather not use a card (or can't), you can now prepay a full year of any paid plan in Bitcoin, processed by NOWPayments. Your plan activates as soon as the payment confirms on the blockchain, and your plan, signup date, and expiration date all show under Plan & account. Crypto terms don't auto-charge — we email you before the term ends so you can renew.
Regional pricing — automatic discounts and local-currency estimates
Anyone in the world can now sign up and pay. Eligible countries automatically get regional (purchasing-power) pricing — the discounted price is shown right on the pricing page and applied at checkout on both card and crypto — and visitors in many regions see an estimated price in their local currency (you're still billed in USD). Accepted payment methods are now shown on the pricing page and footer.
AI Visibility Plan — from “AI doesn’t know you” to “AI recommends you”
A new guided plan in your dashboard closes the loop on the headline promise: it shows your AI-visibility baseline, gives you the exact ordered steps to get recommended (crawler access, schema, llms.txt, entity signals, content, listings, reviews) — each linking to the tool that does it — and tracks your before → after so you can watch your score climb as you complete them.
Built for organizations: nonprofits, government, education & franchises
New dedicated pages and tools for the organizations we serve. An Accessibility Statement & VPAT generator produces the WCAG/ADA/508 documents procurement teams require; the Security page is now a full Trust & procurement center (DPA, VPAT, W-9, PO/ACH invoicing on request); and there are tailored landing pages for nonprofits, government, schools & universities, and multi-location franchises — with the automatic 30% edu/gov discount surfaced throughout.
Customize which tools show on your dashboard
Hide the free tools you don't use so your day-to-day dashboard stays focused — turn any of them back on anytime from the new Customize tools panel.
Education & Government pricing
Schools and public agencies save 30% automatically — verified by your .edu / .gov email at checkout, no forms. Nonprofits and whole campuses get tailored plans on the new For-Organizations pricing.
Free Accessibility Checker (ADA / WCAG 2.1 / Section 508)
Scan any page for the accessibility issues that matter — missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, page language, heading structure, zoom, landmarks and more — with a score and the WCAG criterion for each. Re-scan any page anytime and export a shareable compliance report; paid plans add an accessibility section to client reports. Built for government, school, and nonprofit sites.
Growth Advisor: switch between your sites
If you manage more than one website, the Growth Advisor now lets you switch between them and re-runs the SEO + AI-visibility analysis for each. It also reports an ADA/WCAG accessibility score.
Growth Copilot is now a real conversation
The Copilot keeps context across messages, so its follow-up questions can be answered naturally — and the input no longer carries over your previous message.
Install the app, in-product help & an integrations directory
Install GrowMyWebsite as an app on any device from Plan & account (full-screen, with push). A new help button in the dashboard lets you search guides and message support from anywhere, backed by a new Help Center. And a new Integrations page shows exactly what connects today — WordPress, Zapier, Make, webhooks, Slack, GA4 & Search Console, Stripe — plus CRM and SSO options for larger teams.
Native CRM sync — HubSpot & Salesforce
Connect HubSpot (private-app token) or Salesforce (one-click OAuth) from your Leads page, and every lead your on-site AI Assistant captures is created in your CRM automatically. HubSpot includes a one-click back-fill for existing leads.
Personalized onboarding — a dashboard tailored to you
New users pick what they are — business, nonprofit, government, school/university, franchise, or agency — and the dashboard tailors itself: a “Recommended for you” set of the right tools, a link to your audience playbook, and the accessibility/compliance and edu-gov discount paths when they apply. Change your selection anytime.
Push notifications (browser & installable app)
Turn on push alerts in your settings to get notified on any device — new leads, ranking or accessibility slips, and reports — even when the site is closed.
Reliability fixes
Fixed AI tools returning “Access denied” for signed-in users, social-mention counts silently showing 0 when a source was unreachable, and Growth Advisor mis-blaming the URL when a site's firewall blocked the scan. Light mode is now the default, with a dark-mode setting in your dashboard.
Saved tool history + My Library
The free tools now remember your work. Signed in, your title tags, meta tags, business names, and more are saved and one-click restorable, all gathered in a new My Library hub. Anonymous visitors keep recents in their browser.
Searchable tools directory — in the dashboard too
The tools page now has instant search and category filters instead of one long list, and every tool opens right inside your dashboard (keeping your navigation) and saves your work to your account.
Self-serve SAML single sign-on (Enterprise)
Enterprise organizations can now connect their identity provider — Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin, or any SAML 2.0 IdP — from a new Single sign-on page in the dashboard. Add your domain and metadata, and your whole team signs in securely with 'Use single sign-on (SSO)' on the login page. No extra passwords to manage.
Three new free tools
Event Schema Generator (get community events, fundraisers, and classes into Google), Headline Analyzer (score any title or subject line), and Word Counter & Readability (live counts + Flesch reading ease).
Upgrade suggestions matched to your role
Instead of a generic upgrade nudge, the dashboard now recommends the plan that actually fits you: agencies and franchises see the multi-site, white-label pitch; schools and government see accessibility monitoring and their 30% discount; businesses and nonprofits see the growth essentials. One-click upgrade, and dismissible.
Website builder: full color control, layouts & a rotating hero
Your site is now yours to design. Add multiple hero images to create an auto-rotating slideshow and pick 1, 2, or 3-column layouts — free. On paid plans you also get full color control: set every color independently — text, page background, section boxes, the navigation bar, and the footer — on top of the accent you choose. Everything stays fully mobile-optimized and publishes instantly.
Website builder: themes, sections, logo & more
The one-page site gains a sticky nav and full footer, an uploadable hero image and logo, real brand-color social icons, and an owner Edit bar. Paid plans add all three themes (Classic, Midnight, Minimal) and drag-to-reorder / show-hide sections. Edit and republish anytime.
Google AI Overviews tracking
AI-visibility now tracks Google's real AI Overview panel alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — see exactly which engines name you for each buyer question.
Growth Copilot can now take action
The AI Copilot doesn't just advise — it can run an audit, draft content, start tracking an AI prompt, or set up a CTR A/B test for you, then report exactly what it did.
Leads & requests inbox (mini-CRM)
Every prospect the on-site AI Assistant captures and every white-label client request now lands in one pipeline — statuses (new → contacted → won → lost), private notes, filters, and CSV export.
Multi-engine AI visibility + share-of-voice
Track your visibility across every major AI engine and see a competitor share-of-voice leaderboard — who AI recommends most for the questions that matter, with your brand's rank.
Scheduled, branded client reports
Agencies can send clients a white-labeled report weekly or monthly, to multiple recipients, with SEO score, AI visibility, keywords, and a plain-English summary of what was done — plus a Send-now button.
Slack, Discord & webhook alerts
Get real-time pushes for score drops, AI overtakes, new leads, and client requests in the channels you already use.
Webhooks now work with Zapier, Make & n8n
Webhook events carry a stable event name and structured data, so you can trigger any automation — add a CRM contact, send an SMS, log a row — when a lead, request, or visibility change happens.
AI Visibility Autopilot, on-site AI Assistant & CTR A/B testing
Win AI citations automatically, capture leads with an on-site assistant, and let Search Console pick your best-performing titles.
Public REST API + developer docs
Pull your audits, scores, keyword rankings, and AI-visibility data into your own dashboards and automations with a simple Bearer-key REST API.
White-label client portals on your own domain
Agencies can host a branded client portal on their own domain or subdomain, where clients log in (magic link), view reports, and submit requests.
