Do I still need a website if I'm on Facebook and Google?
Yes. A Google Business Profile and a Facebook page are great for being found, but neither one is designed to close the sale. A website is where someone decides you're the right choice and actually gets in touch.
We hear this a lot: "I'm already on Google Maps and Facebook, isn't that enough?" It's a fair question, free listings do a real job. But they're built to be short and generic, not to sell your business. Here's the gap they leave.
What listings and social pages are good at
What only a website can do
The best setup is all three, working together
This isn't really an either/or. Your Google Business Profile gets you found locally, Facebook keeps existing customers warm, and your website is the destination that turns interest into an enquiry. Link all three to each other and each one makes the others stronger.
We build the website side of that setup for £99 a month with nothing upfront, and help you link it to your Google Business Profile properly. We design it first, so you can see exactly what you'd be getting before you commit to anything.

Can a Google Business Profile replace a website?+
It covers the basics like your hours and reviews, but it can't tell your story, show your full range of work or rank for the searches a proper page can.
Is a Facebook page enough for a small business?+
It's a good extra channel, but posts disappear over time, you don't own the audience, and not every customer wants to message a business on social media.
What does a website do that social media can't?+
It's a permanent, professional home for your business that you control, that shows up in Google search results, and that works even if a platform changes its rules or goes down.
