Small Business Advice
A Facebook page alone won't cut it in today's competitive marketplace.
Facebook can change their rules, restrict your reach, or shut down your page at any time. You're building your business on rented land.
Your website is different. It's yours. You control the content, the design, the customer experience, and most importantly — you control whether it stays online.
When someone searches for your business type in your area, what shows up? If you only have a Facebook page, you're probably buried on page 2 or 3.
A professional website shows up at the top of Google searches. It's the first impression potential customers get of your business.
Facebook pages are designed for social interaction, not business operations. Try to:
• Take detailed orders or bookings
• Showcase your full product catalog
• Collect customer information
• Process payments securely
• Control how your content is displayed
A website gives you complete control. Build exactly the customer experience you want.
If a potential customer is choosing between you (Facebook only) and a competitor with a professional website, who looks more established?
A website signals professionalism. It tells customers you're serious about your business.
Which looks more professional?
yourbusiness@gmail.com vs. yourname@yourbusiness.com
It's not even close. Professional email hosting is included with most website packages and makes every communication look more legitimate.
Organic reach on Facebook is under 5%. Your posts barely reach your own followers without paying for ads.
Your website works 24/7 for free. With basic SEO, people actively searching for what you offer will find you.
Professional website hosting starts at $25/month. That's less than one lunch per week for a 24/7 online presence.
Your website keeps working even when you're not. It's your best salesperson, working around the clock.
