Do tradies need a website?

Not always. If referrals and Facebook keep your diary full, a complete Google Business Profile does the basic job of being found. A website earns its place when you want a place you control that shows your services, areas, prices and recent jobs in more detail than a social page lays out.

Facebook already brings me jobs. Why add a website?

Keep Facebook. A website adds three things to it.

1. You control the layout. A Facebook page works inside the format Facebook sets. On your own site you decide what goes first, how services are grouped and what the contact step looks like.
2. It answers questions before the call. Prices, service areas and how a job works can sit on a page a customer reads before they ring you.
3. It gives Google more to work with. A Business Profile gives Google the basics: your category, contact details and hours. A website gives Google and customers more detail about what you do and where.
