"I already have Facebook"

You will learnWhy a website and a .cm address add to a Facebook page, and how SmartBiz helps with Facebook too.

Many owners say this, and it is a good sign: they already want customers online. Explain the difference simply:

  • A Facebook page is rented space. Facebook decides who sees it. The website and the .cm address belong to the business.
  • A website is found in Google searches and can be shared as one simple address, for example chezmarie.cm, on a sign, a card or a receipt.
  • A website can take orders and bookings with prices, photos and opening hours in one place.
  • Business emails such as contact@chezmarie.cm look more trusted than a free address.

SmartBiz works with Facebook, not against it. Every package includes Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn covers in the business's colours. The owner can share their website on Facebook and on WhatsApp Status, and post to Facebook from the portal once it is connected.

"I have no time" is the other common answer. The form takes a few minutes on the phone, and after that the owner runs everything from WhatsApp.
