Here is our list of the reasons you MUST have a website for your business if you want to succeed in the modern world.
Builds Business Credibility
If you do not have a website, you will have many people thinking that you could be a nomad businessman. According to studies, 91% of consumers will check a business’s website before calling or emailing so don't be left in the lurk relying on your social media to do all the heavy lifting.
Get Great Leads
People who are contacting you through your website have had a look at your services and clearly think that you are up to the task if they are contacting you, so there is going to be a lot less work on your end to convince them to use your service.
Control Your Content
Having control over your messaging to potential customers is key to getting the sales you are looking for. Having your own website designed with your branding and style will show customers what you are all about.
Keep Customers Informed
Having information about your services or products can instantly have a consumer thinking you are the best thing since sliced bread. You can easily keep customers informed about sales or even potential disruptions to your service.
Evergreen Marketing
Have you ever been on a businesses Facebook or Instagram page and they haven't posted in well over a year? It makes you think that they have gone out of business.
On the other hand, a well designed website that has not been updated in a year looks just as good to the consumer as the day it was released. Now that is not to say you can completely abandon your website once it is online because you will likely see better performance when you are regularly updating your website.
BONUS: Emails with Your Domain
Having an email with your domain name makes your business appear far more professional compared to some with a Gmail or Outlook email address.
