Google Web Stories are mobile-first, video-enabled, animated content slides similar to the widely-popular and heavily-adopted social media stories that you see on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and nearly every social media platform . Website publishers and creators can now publish Google Web Stories from their website onto the Internet. Unlike social media stories that typically disappear after 24 hours, Google Web Stories are published from your website like a web page… so it never disappears from your website or the Internet unless you remove it.
To create Google Web Stories, website owners can use tools like Web Stories for WordPress, MakeStories, or Newsroom AI. But first, Web Stories require configuration with GA4, Google Search Console, and onsite SEO tools; and it requires UX/UI integration into the front-end of your website. Web Stories require technical, creative, and storytelling abilities. We recommend starting with a Web Stories content strategy to ensure creative quality, control of messaging, and brand standards. BeGreat! Agency strategy consultants offer a Web Stories framework during a one-hour consultation that will help you create a Web Stories strategy that achieves your objective.
Web Stories appear in Google Search and Google Discover networks. On Google Search, Web Stories can show as a single search result globally, or in a carousel view specifically in the U.S., India, and Brazil. On Google Discover, Web Stories can appear as single cards in English in the U.S., India, or Brazil. And lastly, Web Stories appear on your business website, which can add immense value to your website’s user experience.
It takes time and strategy to properly create engaging Web Stories on a WordPress business website. Website owners can install the free Web Stories by Google plugin to their WordPress website. Once the plugin is installed, you can create a New Story, add content, customize the design, and publish to the Internet and on your website. Of course, this is an oversimplified answer. It took us several hours and days to become proficient at Web Stories. BeGreat!™ provides done-for-you Web Stories services. We’re mastering Web Stories installation, configuration, optimization, and visual storytelling so you don’t have to.
