8pixel vs Facebook
Is a Facebook page enough, or do you need a website? An honest look at what Facebook does well, and what only works on a website of your own.
Why 8pixel may suit you
- A Facebook page shows up inside Facebook. A website on your own domain can show up in Google, which is where someone searches "hairdresser Gothenburg" when they don't already know you.
- You own the address and the content. A website doesn't sit on someone else's platform, and doesn't disappear if an account is locked.
- Prices, services and opening hours stay where the customer can find them, instead of sliding down a feed after a couple of weeks.
- The contact form sits on the website itself, and inquiries land in your inbox, not in messages you miss.
- A website of your own looks like a business. That matters when someone is comparing you with two others.
What Facebook is good at
- Free, and your customers are already there, no new address to teach anyone.
- Simple to post photos and news straight from your phone.
- Messages and recommendations in a place people already recognize.

Which one is right for you?
Choose 8pixel if
You want to reach people who don't already follow you, with prices, services and contact details in one place that is yours.
Choose Facebook if
You have a small, local, loyal circle who already find you, and mostly need somewhere to post photos and news.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, and that's usually the best setup. Facebook is good for staying in touch with people who already follow you. The website is where new customers read up and get in touch. Link from Facebook to the website and the two pull in the same direction.
It helps a lot, especially in Maps, but it wants a website to link to, and it can't show your services, prices and photos the way you'd choose. The profile and the website reinforce each other.
A website with us doesn't need feeding like a feed. It stands there and does its job. You describe the business once, we build the website, then you change opening hours or prices from your phone when something actually changes.
