Cause of death: the autopsy

Agencies charge $125 to $400 a month, but the space is swarmed. Google shipped its own scheduling and multi-location posting, and its questions-and-answers API ended on 2025-11-03.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
