Surprisingly,
many small businesses do not have a website. These business owners
say, “I have a Facebook page so I don't need a website.” Facebook
is a great tool for small businesses because it is free and pretty
much everybody uses it.
But there are
some things that Facebook just can't do for your business. Here are a
few advantages to having a company website:
• You don't
have ownership. Yes, it is your business page, but ultimately it is
still owned by Facebook. Your page may get hacked or spammed, and if
it accidentally gets deleted or shut down for some reason you have to
start over. Also, you have to follow Facebook's rules and guidelines
when it comes to promotions, but on your own website you make the
rules.
