Do I need a website if I have Facebook…

The short answer is yes.

Facebook is a great marketing tool, but it’s just not enough. First of all you don’t own it. They can make changes at will and there is nothing you can do about it. A website is yours. Sure Facebook is a giant right now, but what if it disappears tomorrow. All of the work that you have taken to build a community will be gone, with no website to back you up. Plus, you are at the mercy of Facebook. You never know what might be considered a violation of their terms of service, which could cause them to remove your page. The odds of this are slim, but is it a chance worth taking?

Not everybody on Facebook uses it to find business Most people just go on Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family, sure if they come across your page.They may like it but they won’t search for it and it’s a lot harder to “get found” that way when people are searching for keywords within your business category. A website is much better for getting found.

You should take your business seriously enough to have a professional appearance in some way just to establish A platform where you can tell what you do and show your prospects you are serious about earning their respect. A place for you to write blogs and provide articles and welcome them to your business place.

So, you should have a website and a Facebook page! Facebook is a great compliment to your website, but should not replace it. A well designed and easy to navigate website will give you a competitive edge, keep your image professional and help build credibility. Are you ready to get started? We can help!

You must be professional to make it in business today. In today’s world people do not want to give their hard earned money to just anybody. They want to know your going to do the job they hire you for. One way you can look more professional is to have a professionally designed website. This is the first thing people see when they look for you online and make no mistake no one is using the yellow pages any more. Potential employers, clients, and business partners will definitely “google” you before deciding whether to hire you or work with you.

A small business can project a better image simply by investing in a new website. Even a one-person company can gain credibility and generate more revenue simply by being available to new and current customers on the Web.

Last week the search engine giant Goggle announced the freshest news possible would show up in search results thanks to its new and improved algorithm. The so-called freshness update will impact somewhere between 6 and 35 percent of web searches and deliver more up-to-date and relevant search results. This means Goggle wants to see fresh content. If you don’t have a blogging web site now is the time to get one.
