Why do small businesses need a website?
About 3 decades ago, people rely on physical directories to locate and contact businesses. The current times have 4.5 billion active internet users and they all use search engines.
As a small business, you might think that a Facebook business page and a phone are enough to get by. However, you are falling way behind everybody.
The benefits of having a website for small businesses are:
- Your appearance in the search engines allows potential customers to find your business and know about products and services
- A fully functional website helps build credibility and trust with potential customers
- Being in the same domain as bigger businesses, a website gives small businesses a chance to compete with them
