A lot of small businesses rely solely on Facebook to be found.
But have you ever tried to find a business’s opening hours or price list on Facebook and ended up down a rabbit hole of three-year-old photos instead? 🤯
Facebook is all about social interaction and engagement, which you absolutely want, but it's not designed to convert browsers into customers which is what a website is all about.
It may seem like a cheap and easy alternative but it can be frustrating for your customers, and it’s a bit risky for you, too.
Here are our top reasons to get a website - not instead of, but as well as - a Facebook Business page:
1️⃣ A website is a permanent digital asset that you own and are in complete control of. Facebook change their rules and their algorithm all the time - if they decide to deprioritise business content, or suddenly suspend your account, you don't want your whole business to disappear with it!
2️⃣ A custom website just makes your business look more established. In fact, 84% of consumers believe a company with a website is more credible than one with only a social media page.
3️⃣ And finally SEO (getting found on Google) - while pages can show in search, a website is much better at helping you rank for the specific keywords your customers are searching for.
Our verdict? You really need both! They serve different purposes, but your business will be much stronger (and your life much easier!) if you have a proper home of your own online.
