Do you need a website if you have a Facebook page?
Short answer: a social page is a good start, and a website is the part you own. Here’s the difference.
What a social page does well
It’s free, quick to set up, and good for posting updates and photos where your customers already scroll. Many local businesses get their first customers there.
What a website adds
- You own it. The layout, the words and the address are yours, not subject to a platform’s changes.
- People who search find it. Someone searching “plumber near me” or your business name can land on a page that answers their questions.
- It answers before they ask. Services, prices if you share them, hours, the areas you serve, all organised in one place.
- Not everyone has an account. A website opens for everyone, without signing in.
When you can wait
If you’re booked solid by word of mouth, or you’re still testing an idea for a few weeks, a social page and a Google Business Profile may be enough for now.
The easiest way to have both
Keep posting on social media, and let a simple website hold the essentials. With an AI website builder you describe your business in a few sentences and get a written, designed website in minutes. Link to it from your social profiles and your Google Business Profile.
Questions
No need. They work together: social for updates, the website for the essentials and for people who search.
