Going months at a time without his Facebook account for his legal practice has allegedly cost him thousands of dollars in advertising and communication with clients

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.

I guess... But if your web presence is only on Facebook and that's the first result I see then .. hard pass

Even for companies that have sites, they often get more people contacting them through social media instead of their site. Social media sites tend to have better SEO.

That's especially the case for younger people as they search Instagram and TikTok more than Google. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2024/03/11/genz-dumping-google-for-tiktok-instagram-as-social-search-wins/ ).
