Most small businesses do not realize the immense potential of growth that comes with having something as small as a website. With the world quickly going digital, having an online presence should be a priority if the business is to succeed.
Now, there are so many ways to achieve an online presence depending on your target market and the nature of goods/services you are providing. However, a website is a must-have for each business, whether you are a “MTU wa mayai” from across the street or a fintech company recently listed in the stock exchange market. The digital power that a website holds is much stronger than any other online tool regarding business credibility in your client’s eyes and the impression it gives.
Below I will tell you why a good website is good for your business.
Creates a presence- Who are your customers? where can they be found? What are they searching for on google about a product or service you provide? Are you being found?
These are important questions you should ask yourself. E.g., someone is looking for a particular shoe, and you happen to sell it. They will most likely go to google or any other search engine that they use and type the query.
Now, your Facebook or any other social media page may be found, But imagine having a website that has more selections of that shoe; this means the person will get a chance to look at your online shop, and if it is responsive and well done, they will most likely become a return customer.
Helps build trust-A new prospect might want to know about your company history; whether you are an online store or a brick-and-mortar one, a website will help establish that level of trust the prospect is looking for.
Gets your business listed on search engines- When you have a website, Google can index your page more so if you have understood SEO (Search engine optimization) when someone searches for relevant keywords that you have used on your page, they can find your business online.,
You can leverage social media- The beauty of all these social platforms is that you can use one to promote the other. Some kind of a symbiotic relationship.
