Do I Need a Website If I Have a Facebook Page?
Lots of small businesses run entirely on a Facebook page, and it works to a point. So do you still need a real website? Short answer: yes, and here is the honest why.
A Facebook page is rented land
You do not own it or control it. The algorithm decides who sees your posts, your work gets buried over time, and Facebook can change the rules any day. A website is yours, permanently.
People search Google, not just Facebook
When someone needs a service, they usually Google it. A Facebook page barely shows up for “electrician near me.” A website plus a Google Business Profile does.
A website looks more established
Fair or not, a real website signals a real, professional business. A Facebook-only presence can read as a side hustle, even when your work is excellent.
Use both, together
This is not either/or. Use Facebook to stay in touch and your website to get found and close. They work best together, which we cover in website vs social media and do you need a website.
