My name is Joey O'Connor and I've been building websites and helping businesses promote themselves online for more than 25 years - since 1998 actually. Along the way, I've created and managed websites, business directories, community pages, social media channels and entire networks of my own. If you would like, you can learn more about me at JoeyOConnor.com. I've also even owned a brick-and-mortar business so I understand the public and what they want and what they expect. All of this hands-on experience has taught me what works, what doesn't, and just how important a professional online presence can be. Today, I use that experience to help businesses improve what they already have - or build what they're missing - so they can look better, build trust and reach more people.

Your website is your business's home on the internet. It's a place you control where potential customers can learn who you are, what you do, see your products or services, find your contact information and decide whether they want to do business with you.

A professional website also helps your business look established and build trust. When someone hears about your business, sees one of your Facebook posts or finds your name somewhere online, there's a good chance they'll look for your website to learn more.

And unlike social media, your website belongs to you. You're not depending entirely on another company's platform, algorithm or rules to maintain your online presence. It can also give search engines another way to find, understand and show your business when people are searching for what you offer.

That's why I consider a professional website and a properly set-up Facebook Business Page two of the most important parts of a business's online presence.

A Facebook Page can be one of the most useful online tools a business has. Think of it almost like a second website - a place where potential customers can learn about your business, see your photos, find your contact information, visit your website, read reviews, see what you've been up to and contact you directly.

But Facebook gives you something a regular website doesn't, the ability to easily reach and interact with people. You can post updates, promotions, events, new products, photos and other information - and those posts can be liked, commented on and shared with others - the sharing of your posts technically mean Free Advertising for you!

A properly set-up Facebook Business Page also helps your business look established, build trust and give people another way to find and connect with you.

And your Facebook Page can work beyond Facebook, too. I operate a growing network of websites, business directories, community pages and social media channels where businesses can be featured and promoted. For businesses located along the Grand Strand coastal region of South Carolina, that includes opportunities throughout my Grand Strand Network and additional marketing through GrandStrandMarketing.com.

If your business doesn't have a website, you certainly need one - I can help you get one online. I'll build you a professional website designed around your business, your services and the information your customers need to know. [Learn More] Coming Soon!

If your business doesn't have a Facebook Business Page, you certainly need one - I can help you get one set up properly.

Great - then let's make sure they're working for your business the way they should be. Your website and Facebook Page should work together to give people a professional, consistent impression of your business and make it easy for them to find the information they need.

I'll take a look at what you already have, see what's working and what could be better, and help make the improvements that matter - whether that's the overall look, outdated information, photos, content, SEO, navigation or how everything works together.

Sometimes you don't need to start over. You just need to make what you already have better. [Learn More] Coming Soon!
