Do I need a website if I have a Facebook page?
A social page is a good start. For most businesses, a website adds the things a feed cannot: control, clarity and a place that shows up when people search.
Updated
What a social page does well
It is free, easy to update and good for reaching people who already follow you. Photos, news and quick replies fit it well.
What a website does that a page cannot
Social platforms change their rules, hide posts and sometimes lock accounts. A website is yours.
- It is found by people searching who do not use that platform
- Your hours, prices and services stay in one place, not buried in a feed
- You control the design, wording and what visitors do next
- It works for people without an account
- It builds trust, since a real site signals a real business
When a page alone may be enough
If you are brand new, have a tiny side business, or sell only to people who already know you, a page may be enough for now. Revisit it when customers start asking for details you keep repeating, or when you want strangers to find you.
Use both
The best setup is simple: your website holds the facts, and social media brings people to it. Link each to the other.

Common questions
Will a website help me show up on Google?
It helps, along with an accurate Google Business Profile and reviews. A page on a social platform rarely ranks as well for local searches.
Can I use my Facebook content on the website?
Yes. Photos and updates you own can be reused, and we can show recent posts on your site where it makes sense.
