Does Your Small Business Need a Website?
You’re great at what you do—whether that’s tree work, plumbing, construction, or any other skilled trade. But when potential customers search for services in your area, can they find you?
The Reality of Modern Customer Behavior
97% of consumers search online for local businesses. When someone’s toilet is leaking or they need a tree removed, they don’t pull out the yellow pages—they pull out their phone.
If you don’t have an online presence:
- You’re invisible to most potential customers
- Competitors are getting the business you should be getting
- Word-of-mouth referrals can’t easily share your info
What a Website Actually Does for You
Builds Credibility
A professional website says you’re a legitimate, established business. Customers are more likely to trust a company with a real web presence than one with just a phone number.
Works 24/7
Your website answers questions, shows your work, and captures leads even when you’re on a job site or sleeping. It’s your best employee that never takes a day off.
Saves Time
Instead of explaining your services on every phone call, point people to your website. Let them see your work, read your FAQ, and come to you ready to hire.
Enables Reviews
Google Business profiles and other online presence make it easy for happy customers to leave reviews—which are the most trusted form of advertising.
What You Actually Need
You don’t need a fancy, expensive website. For most small businesses, you need:
- 5-7 pages covering your services, about you, and contact info
- Mobile-friendly design (most people will find you on phones)
- Photo gallery of your best work
- Clear contact information and easy ways to reach you
- Google Business Profile so you show up in local searches
