Facebook vs. a real website

Facebook page vs. website —
what actually gets you calls

Most local trade businesses have a Facebook page and think they're covered online. Here's the problem: Facebook doesn't show up when customers search Google. A website does. Here's the honest breakdown.

Real example

A landscaping company that made the switch

Conway's Landscaping went from Facebook-only to having a Google-indexed lead page. Result: 4 customer inquiries from people who found them via search — not word of mouth.

The comparison

What Facebook does well — and where it falls short

Facebook is excellent for staying in touch with existing customers and getting referrals. It falls short the moment a new customer opens Google and searches for your trade in your town.

Facebook: great for referrals Facebook: community presence Facebook: doesn't rank on Google Website: Google search visibility Website: leads from new customers Website: works 24/7 Website: no algorithm Enoma: get both covered

Common questions

Common questions

Why doesn't my Facebook page show up on Google?

Facebook's privacy settings and page structure make it difficult for Google to index and rank business pages in local search results. Google overwhelmingly prefers standalone websites for local service queries.

Do I need to choose between Facebook and a website?

No — keep your Facebook page and add an Enoma website. Facebook handles your existing community and referrals. Your Enoma page captures the customers who search Google first.

What about Google Business Profile?

GBP is worth setting up — it's free and puts you on Google Maps. But a GBP alone doesn't rank for search queries the way a dedicated website does. The most effective setup is GBP + a website working together.
