At Queen Bee Marketing, we hear this question all the time:
“If I already have a Facebook page, why do I need a website?”

Here’s the truth: your website is the most important piece of your entire online presence. It’s your digital storefront, your credibility builder, and the foundation that every other platform—including Facebook, Instagram, Google, and your Google Business Profile—connects back to.

Without a website, your online presence is incomplete… and your ability to rank on Google (especially for “near me” searches) is severely limited.

Think of your website as your business’s physical location in the digital world.
It provides:

• A trusted destination for your customers 
• A central hub where all traffic is directed 
• The “backbone” of your brand’s online identity 
• A place for customers to contact you or submit forms 
• A source of credibility for Google and other search engines
   

Google places extremely high value on businesses that have a real, functioning website. If you want to rank locally in Alexandria or appear in Google Maps results, a website is essential—not optional.

A Facebook page alone can’t replace the benefits of a professionally built website. When you rely only on social media, you’re essentially renting space—not owning it.

A website gives you:

Customers trust businesses with a real website. It instantly positions you as legitimate and established.

Your business is open around the clock—even when you’re not.

Social media platforms change constantly.
Your website is yours—your design, your messaging, and your customer experience.

Google uses your website to understand:

• What you do 
• Where you are 
• Who you serve 
• Whether you should appear in “near me” searches
  No website = lower visibility and fewer customers.

Forms, online scheduling, e-commerce, blogs, service pages—your website does the heavy lifting.

Whether you want to:

• Attract new clients 
• Sell products 
• Showcase your work 
• Improve your local SEO 
• Build trust with customers 
• Increase your visibility in Alexandria, LA and across Cenla
