'I have a Facebook page — do I need a website too?' Yes, and here's why it still matters more than ever in 2026.
A website is the one thing you own
Social platforms change rules, bury your posts, and can disappear. Your website is the one place online you fully control — and the hub everything else points to.
It's where buying decisions happen
- People search Google before they call
- A real site builds instant credibility
- It works 24/7 — menus, booking, directions, ordering
- It helps you show up in local search
Social media is great for reach. A website is where that reach turns into customers.
