We hear this question constantly. "I already have a Facebook page — do I really need a website?" The honest answer: both have a role, but they are not the same thing. And relying on Facebook alone is a risk most local businesses can't afford.
Facebook can restrict your page, reduce your reach, or change its algorithm overnight. You don't own it. Your website is yours.
When someone searches "towing company near me" or "plumber in Joplin MO" — they're going to Google. Facebook doesn't rank for those searches. Your Facebook page will rarely appear for local service searches. A properly built website will.
That's the single most important distinction. Google search intent traffic — people actively looking for what you offer — is the highest-converting traffic in existence. Facebook can't capture it. Your website can.
Keep your Facebook page active for community and engagement. But build a real website to capture Google search traffic and give every customer a professional, trustworthy first impression. They serve different purposes — and you need both.
