A website and a Facebook page are both important in building a business or brand. This brings up the question of, “Which online presence should one choose or start with as an entrepreneur or business owner?”

Facebook as a social media platform has more than 2 billion monthly active users, this makes it impossible for businesses to ignore. In short that is why we are placing a Facebook page side by side with a website.

But, don't forget that with a website you have full control, so you can do or sell anything you want without restriction.

For me I think it's better if you use both, But if you can't use both, a Facebook page with lots of like would do.

So guys, which one do you think is better for business, A Website or a Facebook Business Page

You surely need both of them

Both; Fb provides audience for your website which give the business some sort of creedence

I will choose a Website first then Facebook subsequently.

Website - This is your private property or domain. You can promote your website and get traffic from all aspects of online marketing such as social media, search engine, email marketing, content marketing, etc.

Facebook - This is just one social media platform. It has its benefits and restrictions. It is a borrowed domain. With the new policy, you only get better impressions for the promotion of your business pages via PPC advertising, hence, organic reach is limited.

In Business you must anticipate the worst. Have you thought of if Facebook shuts down today, will your business go along with it? I know a lot of Naija businesses will follow it.

Wow, nice one...I never really thought of the fact that, Facebook could shut down.

Let's pray it doesn't happen, because it will be like when MMM crashed

you can't compare a website with a fan page.

a website is best, a fan page is better. I won't advice anyone to only use a page for their business.

Website is the best
Facebook has restrictions, limitations
Migration, development, enhancement, would be based on Facebook

I advise you to get a website

Website and Facebook fan page are in joint demand.
Why? Because when you have a website and a facebook page, it will help you to achieve what you want.

When you have a website, you will get visitors (traffic) from search engines quickly especially if you share your business ideas and infos with other business websites that are related to yours more than in facebook page. People do value website over facebook page, (ie) if you share your business website link and your facebook fan page, people who needs your service will definitely click on the website link rather than facebook page link. Just like me, if I need any service, I will go to google and search for it rather than going to facebook. A lot of people don't go to facebook for their services because lots of people claiming to provide services on facebook are scammers. Believe me, most people don't take facebook business serious if you don't have website.

In the other way, when you have a facebook page, you will quickly reach out to a lot of audience especially when using facebook ads but in most cases, lots of the audience you will reach might not be in need of your service.

So the two works hand to hand and its advisable to have both.
When you have both website and facebook page, you will combine your facebook page audience + your search engine visitors together, coupled with your ads on your website, undoubtedly you will meet your needs quickly.
