Take a hint, get a professional website and don’t rely on Facebook to host your business.
You have to meet clients where they are. These days, clients are far less likely to find you if you only have a site with no social media presence.
which is the dumbest shit in the world. why the fuck are people on facebook?
Have you tried explaining something to someone lately? A lot of people don't care and don't understand. About anything
'People who spend too much time on Facebook' overlaps with 'People who need cheap lawyers.'
People are on Facebook because that's where everyone already is. They won't leave because then they lose contact with all those people.
Well marketplace basically killed Craig's list, so that's one reason.
I'm on Facebook because many people I communicate or work with and pages and groups relevant to my interests are active there.
I guess... But if your web presence is only on Facebook and that's the first result I see then .. hard pass
That's my daily battle. I'm looking for something in my country, and there are these "businesses" that only show on Facebook or Instagram, both of which are entirely blocked at the network and device level in my house. So I'll never do business with them. If you don't have an actual web site with relevant information, I just keep looking.
The silver lining of having friends that won't leave those platforms for nothing in the world is being able to interact with those businesses through them.
Demanding a small business has their own website before you do business with them is peak Lemmy.
This site is way out of touch with what the typical person has the knowledge or time to do.
Same here
But he has a website... He's just saying Facebook denied him additional exposure unfairly.
I guess understandable for initial discovery, but it's on the lawyer if they didn't hand out a contact card with email phone and whatnot to all clients
Devils advocate, perhaps he did and clients still reached out on FB. When he got banned they assumed he ghosted and went with another lawyer.
I would believe that theory. People are dumb enough to make that entirely feasible.
But if your name is Marc Zuckerberg, why not act like you want to and sue.
