Small Businesses & Social Media

Why do I need a website for my small business if I have social media and use Facebook Marketplace, TikTok, or Instagram?

Key Questions

1. How does having a website add value if I use other social media channels?

2. What is a low-cost solution for a website instead of the thousands of dollars that I hear people spend on a website?

3. Does every business owner need to hire someone to maintain their website or is it easier than I think it is?
