Website or just social media? What your business needs

Social media and a website do not compete: they complement each other. Here is what each does and why you need both.

It is a very common doubt: if I already have Instagram or Facebook, why would I want a website? The truth is each plays a different role, and together they work much better.

What social media does well

Social media is perfect for the day to day: showing news, building community and helping people discover you. But you do not control it: reach depends on the algorithm and the account is not yours.

What a website does well

  • Shows up on Google when someone searches for what you offer.
  • Gives a professional image and builds trust.
  • Centralises your info: hours, services, contact, reviews and map.
  • It is yours forever, with no dependence on any platform.

The winning combination

The ideal is to use social media to attract and the website to convert: from your profile you link to the site, and the site captures whoever searches for you on Google. At NapiWeb I prepare your website and link it with your social profiles.

No, they complement each other. Social attracts, the website builds trust and captures whoever searches for you on Google.
