Frequently Asked Questions

Can't I just use Facebook?

Facebook can delete you, change algorithms, or charge for reach anytime. Website gives you ownership and control of your business presence.

Do I need website if I have Instagram?

Yes! Instagram is for engagement, website is for conversions and Google search. Professionals have both.

What if my customers are all on social?

Meet them on social, but bring them to owned website for transactions. Never build business on rented land you don't control.
