Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page?

A Facebook page is a great start, but it isn't the same as owning a website. Here's what each one does and why most businesses need both.

Lots of small businesses run everything from a Facebook page. It's free, your customers are already there, and it's easy to post. So why pay for a website?

What a Facebook page does well

Shares news, photos and specials with people who already follow you
Lets customers message you
Shows reviews and recommendations

What a Facebook page can't do

Show up well on Google. When someone searches "bakery near me," Google favors businesses with their own website and a Google Business Profile.
Reach people who aren't on Facebook. Not every customer has an account, and many won't log in just to see your hours.
Belong to you. Facebook controls the page layout, the rules and who sees your posts. A website is yours.
Look fully professional. A web address like yourbusiness.com builds trust before a customer ever calls.

The best setup: both, working together

Use your website as your home base: services, prices, hours, photos, booking and a big "Call now" button. Use Facebook and Instagram to bring people to it. When you run ads, sending people to a clear website page usually turns more clicks into calls.
