Heedsy vs Facebook Pro: get beyond the social network alone
A professional Facebook page reaches a lot of people, but it stays on Meta. Heedsy gives you an independent page you can share everywhere, with QR code and local SEO.

Many merchants rely only on their Facebook page (often called “Facebook Pro” or Meta Business Page). It is free, familiar, and customers are already there. The catch: you do not control the algorithm, the URL, or how your page appears outside the network.
When Facebook changes organic reach, when a customer has no account, or when you want a storefront QR code that leads to something stable, Meta alone shows its limits.
Heedsy complements (or replaces), that presence: a page under your name, with hours, contacts, reviews, links, and a simple URL you put everywhere, Instagram, Google, flyers, storefront.
Here is how the two approaches compare for a local business.

IncludedWho is each solution for?
Facebook and Heedsy can coexist, but not for the same role.
Choose Heedsy if…
You want a stable page outside Meta, a single link for bio / storefront / Google, and no longer depend only on the Facebook algorithm to be found.
Keep Facebook Pro if…
You actively run a Meta community, you post often, and you use Facebook/Instagram ads. In that case Heedsy is still an excellent complement as your “source of truth” page.
Why add Heedsy alongside (or instead of), Facebook
You own your link
heedsy.com/your-business does not disappear when Meta changes its UI. Your flyers and QR code stay valid.
Customers do not need an account
Anyone can open your Heedsy page in a browser. No Facebook login required.
Presence beyond the feed
Local SEO and the Heedsy map keep you visible even when Facebook organic reach drops.
A clear storefront, without noise
Hours, contacts, documents, links: the essentials of the business, without the stream of posts and ads.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to leave Facebook to use Heedsy?
No. Many merchants keep Facebook to animate the community and put the Heedsy link in About, stories and the storefront. The two complement each other.
What exactly is Facebook Pro?
Here we mean the Meta / Facebook Business Page: the public listing for a business on Facebook, distinct from a personal profile.
Does Heedsy replace Facebook ads?
No. Heedsy is not an ads tool. If you invest in Meta advertising, keep Facebook, and point campaigns or your bio to your Heedsy page to convert outside the network.
Is it free?
Yes, the Starter plan lets you publish a full page. Advanced modules are on Pro.
Can customers find Heedsy on Google?
Yes, your page is built to be indexable and tied to local presence (map, city pages), unlike a Facebook page whose SEO outside Meta remains limited.
