It’s hard to believe, but even in 2018, it’s reported that almost HALF of all small businesses still don’t have a website. How can this be? The excuses run the gamut, but the reality is that in this digital age, excuses just don’t add up. There is no other marketing tool that for as low as $1 per day can provide you with the following benefits:
- Provides a steady stream of inquiries that can turn into new customers
- Creates awareness for your business
- Gives your business instant credibility
- Provides a platform to showcase your projects
- Sells for your business where and when potential customers are looking – 24/7
So, what could the excuses possibly be to NOT have a website? Here are some of the top ones we’ve heard – and the reasons why they just don’t hold up:
I do fine without one.
If “fine” is your highest goal for your business … well, then – we sort of understand your reasoning. Just remember that over 85% of all American adults use the Internet to get recommendations, find companies to do business with, buy products, and connect with people they know. One day, that number will probably be closer to 100%. Do you really want to take the chance that you’ll always be able to get enough business without a web presence? And we really hope you want your business to do better than “fine”. If that’s the case, doesn’t it make sense to have a website that’s in the competition with others for the business you want?

I just can’t afford it.
We get it. Sometimes small businesses, especially when they’re young, are living from project to project. There’s not thousands of dollars in the bank to spare for a website. That’s exactly why we created our Lead Flow website programs. For a low monthly fee, you get a search optimized, modern website that makes your business stand out and provides a steady stream of potential customers. Check out Lead Flow!
I have plenty of customers.
Your project schedule may be full today – but what about 3 months out? Next year? If you’re not spending time and money marketing your business, there’s nothing working to keep potential deals in the pipeline. 50% of all mobile searches are done by people looking for local business results, and 65% of those searches result in a purchase. If you don’t have a web presence, you’ll never know about the missed opportunities that could have been yours – but went to a competitor.
None of my competitors have a website, so why should I?
That’s the perfect situation to be in! That means if you have a website, you’ll turn up when potential customers search for your services. Let the competition keep relying on word of mouth marketing. Be the proactive one in your industry that captures the business from the 90% of Americans who are searching for products and services online!
I don’t have time to manage a website.
