How does a prospective client decide if you are trustworthy or not? There are a lot of ways they will do this, but the first thing they are going to do is Google you. What will they find?
The first thing you want them to find is your website… and if your website is good, they will never have to leave it to look at other things. If they leave, they are in the “wilderness” and you don’t know what they are going to find on the internet… good or bad.
