Likes don’t cater events. Visibility does. In today’s digital world, many small business owners focus on going viral, gaining followers, and getting high engagement. While these can create attention, they do not always lead to consistent customers or real sales. What actually drives enquiries, bookings, and repeat customers is visibility, being discoverable when someone is actively searching for your product or service. This distinction is especially important for food vendors, pastry businesses, and small chops vendors, where customers often make fast, intent-driven decisions.
