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.
