Do I Need a Website if I Have a Facebook Page?

The honest answer for solo and micro-businesses.

The short version

This guide covers control, search visibility, professionalism. If you want the AI version of this — automated, validated, and built into your new site — run a free audit first and we will email you a personalized preview of what your site would look like fixed.

Why this matters in 2026

Small business websites that get this right score 80+/100 on the fivedaylaunch audit. Sites that ignore it score 45 or below. The difference shows up in conversion rate — sites in the top quartile convert 2-4x better.

What to do (the practical checklist)

  1. Audit your current state. Run a free audit to see exactly where you stand on this dimension before you start making changes.
  2. Identify the gap. Most sites are missing either the technical implementation (the code) or the strategic framing (the content). Often both.
  3. Implement the fix. control, search visibility, professionalism is the core lever — get it right and the score jumps.
  4. Re-audit. Verify the improvement. Score should jump 5-15 points if implemented correctly.
