Struggling with Facebook Support? A Website is the Ultimate Solution
For small businesses, relying solely on social media platforms like Facebook to manage your online presence may seem convenient and cost-effective. After all, these platforms are free (apart from paid marketing or marketplace fees) and come with built-in audiences. However, this convenience hides a significant drawback that becomes glaringly obvious if you ever try to reach out to Facebook support.
The Hidden Risks of Relying on Facebook
Account Suspensions
Your business page or account can be flagged or suspended without notice. Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, an algorithm can mistakenly shut you down—and getting it reinstated is often a frustrating and time-consuming process.
Nonexistent Support
Facebook’s “support” system is essentially a maze of generic help articles. Need to contact someone directly? Good luck. Whether you’re a small business owner or an advertiser, finding a way to report an issue usually ends in an endless loop of self-help articles, with no phone number, email, or live chat in sight.
Algorithm Dependency
Your visibility on Facebook is dictated by ever-changing algorithms. These algorithms prioritize engagement over fairness, meaning even your best efforts can go unseen without paid promotion.
The Solution: Own Your Online Presence
A website gives you full control over how you present yourself online. Here is why it might be in your best interest to own your own platform:
Full Control of Your Brand
Unlike Facebook, your website is entirely yours. You decide the style, content, and functionality—no one will restrict you (aside from search engine guidelines, which we’ll cover in another article). A custom website allows you to create a unique user experience tailored to your customers, often leading to stronger engagement and satisfaction.
Want features like instant messaging for customers? That can be seamlessly integrated into your website, along with blogs, e-commerce tools, and third-party apps to enhance functionality.
Ownership of Your Data
Social media platforms often own the rights to the data you generate, making it difficult to delete or control. With a personal website, you own all the information you collect, from customer details to analytics, giving you complete control over how it’s used.
Complement, Don’t Abandon Social Media
Owning a website doesn’t mean you have to leave Facebook or other platforms behind. Instead, social media can become a tool to drive traffic to your website—your professional digital home base.
