Mobile Apps vs. Websites: Which One Do Local Businesses Need?

Eazi Business • 12 November 2024

As local businesses go digital, they often choose between building a mobile app or a website. Both have distinct benefits, but which is the best choice for the businesses in 2024? As an entrepreneur looking to offer digital services, understanding these options can help you guide your clients toward the best solution for their business.

The Benefits of Mobile Apps

Mobile apps offer businesses a direct channel to customers, allowing for personalised experiences, loyalty programs, and push notifications. Apps provide a seamless way for businesses to stay connected with their customers, helping to increase retention rates and sales.

Businesses with mobile apps see an average 20% increase in sales compared to those without apps.

The Benefits of Websites

Websites are essential for online visibility. They are easier to find via search engines, making them critical for SEO. Websites also provide flexibility in showcasing services and products and are accessible to a wider audience.

Starting a new business is not easy. There are a lot of things to consider and decisions to make. It’s also important to avoid investing your hard earned money in a business that does not give you a great return. Small mistakes in the early stages can manifest themselves into bigger problems further down the road.

Starting a new business can be time-consuming and difficult. The first challenge is to find or build a great product or service that your customers need. You will also need to create a brand, develop marketing collateral, design a website, find customers, and develop a range of new skills. You will most likely have to hire a team of experts to help you get started.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility.  Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
