Do you have a website for your business?

Bill Gates puts it, “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business.’ In this internet age, if you own a business and still don’t have a website, you’ll be out of the picture very soon!”
- An online presence via a website can have a massive impact on a business’s success. Many customers visit a company’s website first before making a purchase.
- Some business owners have objections to getting a website: “I’m not tech savvy”, “It’s too expensive”, “I don’t have the time”, or “I have enough business and don’t need one.”
- Yet there are strong reasons why a website is important.
Top compelling reasons why your business needs a website
- A website can add instant credibility to your business.
- Helps you stand out among competitors.
- A well-designed site conveys validity and reassures customers that you are legitimate.
- Having a website can attract more leads.
- People who find you online and want more info can contact you via your website.
- Although setting up a website has a cost, it offers a positive return on investment (ROI) if used properly.
- You can get found organically.
- If your website is optimized for SEO, you can appear in search results when people search for goods or services you offer.
- This can expand your customer base significantly.
- Example given: search keyword “digital marketing specialist in Davao”.
- You can position yourself and stay in control of your brand.
- The website is your platform to present your messaging, values, and identity in a way that social media alone can’t always allow.
- Being clear about who you are, what you stand for, and what you represent helps attract the “right” customers.
- Helps you differentiate from competitors.
- You can save time and provide customer service.
- Websites can host FAQs or knowledge bases so customers find answers without needing direct support.
- You can also set up chatbots or support ticket systems to streamline addressing customer concerns.
