Does Your Small Business Really Need a Website?

With social media being so popular, some small business owners wonder if they still need a website. In most cases, the answer is yes—here’s why.

Credibility: A professional website makes your business look established and trustworthy. Many customers will search for your website before doing business with you.

Control: Unlike social media, you own and control your website. Algorithm changes won’t affect your visibility, and you can present your business exactly how you want.

Information Hub: Your website is the best place for customers to find your hours, location, services, and contact information. It’s available 24/7, even when you’re not.

Local Search: When people search for services near them, having a website helps you show up in search results. This is especially important for local businesses.

When a Website May Not Be Essential: If you’re a very small operation, work entirely by referral, or your customers don’t use the internet to find services, social media alone might be sufficient.

The Good News: A basic website doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. A simple, professional site with your essential information is often all you need to start.
