Why a website beats Instagram alone
Social is great for daily reach, but hours, catalog, and credibility belong on your own site — and compound for local SEO over time.
Customers can find you for searches like Bandung cake shop even if they do not follow you yet.
Serious buyers Google first, then chat. Without a website you lose credibility before the conversation starts.
Step 1 — Pick one page goal
Before choosing a template, finish this sentence: “Visitors should…”
- Message on WhatsApp
- Submit an order form
- View pricing or a catalog
One primary goal keeps copy, photos, and CTAs focused.
Step 2 — Choose a ready template
Browse Karyaku’s template catalog for shops, services, and light company profiles. Prioritize layouts with:
- Room for product or service photos
- Pricing or package blocks
- A prominent mobile contact button
Step 3 — Fill content customers actually search
Answer these in the first 10 seconds on your homepage:
- Who you are — business name + city
- What you sell — 3–6 featured items with clear photos
- How to order — active WhatsApp + response hours
- When you are open — hours and service area
Step 4 — Publish and share
Go live on a free subdomain or attach your domain, then share the link on:
- Instagram and TikTok bio
- Google Business Profile
- Business cards and in-store stickers
