“I don’t have a website. People only find me through Instagram or word of mouth.”
Word of mouth is the best marketing there is. But the person who hears about you still checks you out online before they call. If there’s nothing to find, a lot of them stop there.
The moment it costs you
Someone’s mate recommends you at a barbecue. On the way home they search your name. They find an Instagram account with posts from March, no prices, and a “DM for info” that they won’t send at 10pm.
You never knew that customer existed.
Why it happens
Social media isn’t built for deciding
Instagram and Facebook are great for showing work, but terrible at answering “what do you do, what does it cost, and how do I book?” Those answers end up buried in old posts and comments.
Check it yourselfAsk a friend to find your prices and your opening hours on your social page in under 30 seconds. Time them.
You don’t own the page
Your account can be hacked, suspended or buried by a change to the algorithm overnight. A website on your own domain is the one bit of the internet that’s yours.
Check it yourselfCould you still reach your customers tomorrow if your account vanished today?
Google has nothing to show
When someone searches for what you do, Google wants a real page that says it. Without one you rarely show up, even when you’re the best option nearby.
Check it yourselfSearch what you do plus your town in a private browser window. Count how many results are you.
What it’s probably costing you
A worked example. Swap in your own numbers.
These figures are an illustration, not a statistic. Even if you lose a tenth of that, a £150 site pays for itself in the first month.
