Website vs Social Media
Your carpentry website or your Google Business Profile — which actually lands the job?
You spend time posting photos of finished kitchens and custom shelving on your Business Profile, yet 95% of visitors never see those posts. Meanwhile, 84% of consumers trust a website more than a social media page when deciding who to call. A carpentry website converts at 7x the rate and answers the big question: do you have the license, insurance, and past work to handle a $800 structural job?
You don't have to choose one. A website is your foundation — the place that proves credibility, ranks in search, and never shrinks your organic reach. Social media is your megaphone. PageKiss builds your foundation in 60 seconds — no design skills, no 20-hour setup. Then you keep posting. But now those posts send people somewhere they trust.
No credit card. 60 seconds.

Common pushbacks
Why carpenters hold back (and why that changes today)
Facebook is enough for me(37%)
84% of consumers trust a website more than a Facebook page when hiring for high-ticket work. A website passes the 50ms Trust Test; a social profile doesn't. You keep Facebook for reach and add a site for credibility that converts.
I don't have time(48%)
PageKiss builds your entire carpentry website in 60 seconds from just your business name. No blank canvas, no 20-hour setup, no design decisions. You approve the result and start recovering $1,440/month in invisible revenue.
Too expensive(28%)
At $29/month, one recovered referral pays for over two years. With the first referral from a happy client, your Referral Recovery Rate turns $800 into $1,440/month you were losing to a missing site.
Google finds me already(36%)
A Google Business Profile gets you found; a website gets you hired. Profiles lack trust signals, reviews above the fold, and the Credibility Index score of 94+ that turns lookers into quote requests. A page closes what discovery opens.
FAQ
Website vs Google Business Profile: Your Top Questions
Do I need a website if I have Google Business Profile?
84% of consumers trust a website more than any social or directory profile. A Google Business Profile is a listing; your site is a digital storefront where you show license, insurance, and past carpentry projects. PageKiss pages score CI 94+ — nearly 2x the industry average — so every visitor sees you as the trusted pro you are. See the carpentry trust comparison.
Is Google Business Profile enough for a carpentry business?
For marketing yes, as a replacement no. Google Business Profile drives local discovery but can't show a full trust stack. Without site schema, you lose Silent SEO advantages — your branded search will underperform. A carpentry with both a GBP and a PageKiss page recovers ~$1,440/month in invisible referral revenue.
Which is cheaper: a website or relying on Google Business Profile?
A PageKiss website is $29/month. Relying only on GBP means spending 3-5 hours/week messaging prospects on social — that's $400-$1,000/month in time value. Your first recovered referral pays for a year of site hosting. See pricing.
Should I have both a website and Google Business Profile?
Absolutely. Use GBP for local discovery, then drive visitors to your website where your trust stack lives — reviews, contact info above the fold, and page speed under 2 seconds. A carpentry using both sees a 30% drop in referral bounce rate vs. those relying on GBP alone.
Can Google Business Profile rank high in Google search results?
GBP listings rank in Google's local pack, but without schema markup — like Service, Product, or Review schemas — your organic ranking capability is limited. A PageKiss site includes automatic silent SEO: schema, meta tags, sitemaps. You rank for branded carpentry searches from day one.
I'm not technical — can I build a carpentry website quickly?
Enter your business name, approve — done in 60 seconds. PageKiss generates a complete, trust-optimized carpentry page with zero setup. No blank canvas, no design decisions, no learning curve. See how it works.
