Let’s cut to the chase: if your business only lives on Facebook (or Instagram, or TikTok), you’re basically renting your storefront from a landlord who can change the locks without notice. Social media is a fantastic marketing tool—but it’s not your business’s home. You need a website. A real one. With your name on the digital deed.
Social Media Is a Funnel, Not the Foundation
We get it. Social media feels easy. You set up a page, post a few pics, share updates, maybe even get a few likes—boom, you’re online. But here’s the truth: social media platforms are designed to capture attention, not direct it. That’s why savvy businesses use platforms like Facebook and Instagram as funnel tools—channels that guide customers to the real star of the show: your website.
Your website is where conversions happen. It’s where people find full details, book services, make purchases, and see that you’re the real deal. Think of social media as the appetizer. Your website? That’s the main course.
Google Loves Websites (and It’s Kind of Picky)
Let’s talk about your friend and mine: Google. When potential customers search for your products or services, Google doesn’t serve up your Facebook page first—it looks for an actual, optimized website. Without one, you’re basically whispering into the digital void while your competitors are shouting from the rooftops.
Social media pages are limited when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization). You can’t control metadata, page speed, structured content, or keyword strategies the way you can with a custom-built website. Translation: if you’re only on social, you’re almost invisible in search rankings.
You Don’t Own Your Social Page—But You Do Own Your Website
Let’s not forget the fine print: your Facebook page belongs to Facebook. If they decide to change their algorithm (again), restrict your content reach (again), or suddenly disable your page (yep, it happens)—you’re out of luck. A website gives you control. It’s your digital real estate. Your rules, your brand, your voice.
