You have a Facebook page—why have your own website too?

Give social visitors a dependable place to compare services, find current information and take the next step with your business.

A Facebook page can be a useful place for conversation, recent work and announcements. But a customer looking for the price of a service, parking instructions and a booking link should not have to reconstruct that information from a sequence of posts.

Build a stable place for decisions

Your website can organise information by task: choose a service, compare packages, see the location, request a quote or make a booking. Each topic has a page you can link to from a post, message, printed card or search result.

Consider a customer who sees a photograph of a finished project. The next link should explain the relevant service and what is needed for an enquiry. Sending everyone to a generic homepage creates extra work for people who already know what interested them.

Use the channels together

Social posts can introduce an offer or show current activity. The website can provide the fuller explanation and the form that collects the right details. Keep essential information consistent, especially opening hours, phone numbers, locations and offer conditions.

Avoid copying every short social post into an article. Choose information that deserves a lasting reference, such as preparation instructions, a service comparison or answers to repeated questions.

Know who controls the essentials

Keep access to the domain registration, hosting, business email and website administration documented. Agree who maintains backups and what can be exported if you change suppliers. Having a website is useful only if the business can continue operating and updating it.

Start with a small set of accurate pages and one clear action. Track relevant enquiries or bookings from social visitors, rather than judging the site only by traffic. If visitors read the service page but repeatedly message the same question, improve that page before adding more content.
