The digital world of 2025 is more lively than ever before: the daily usage time of short video platforms has exceeded 180 minutes, AI driven personalized recommendations have made the information cocoon more and more dense, and the GMV of live streaming sales is still climbing steadily. As a result, a voice became popular - "Why do you want to use the official website when you have a Tiktok account, a small red book store, and a WeChat applet?"

The fact is exactly the opposite. The more decentralized the traffic, the more enterprises need a piece of "self preservation land"; The more algorithms determine exposure, the more companies need a battlefield that algorithms cannot control. The official website is exactly that piece of private land.

1、 Brand sovereignty: The official website is the "property certificate" of enterprises in the digital world

No matter how lively social media accounts are, ownership still belongs to the platform. In 2024, a well-known beauty brand was banned by Xiaohongshu for 7 days for "violating community conventions", resulting in a direct loss of over 30 million yuan in sales. Its Tmall flagship store was also forced to remove some SKUs due to platform rule adjustments. In times of crisis, the only one that can be 100% autonomously controlled is the official website.

Domain names, servers, content, and user data are all in one's own hands. The sense of security brought by this' digital property 'is irreplaceable by any third-party platform. When platform policies suddenly change and traffic costs soar, the official website becomes the last safe haven for enterprises.

2、 Data asset: The official website is the "original stock" of private domain data

In 2025, the Personal Information Protection Law will enter its third year of enforcement peak, and platforms will become increasingly strict in controlling user data. Do enterprises want to export fan phone numbers in Tiktok? Almost impossible. But on the official website, every click, stay, download, and consultation by users will accumulate into first-hand data that can be reused repeatedly.

More importantly, these data can seamlessly integrate with enterprise CRM and CDP systems, forming a 360 ° user profile. According to the 2024 financial report of a head SaaS company, the conversion rate of clues brought by its official website is 3.2 times that of the social platform, and the core reason is the data integrity: the average number of tags of the official website users is 47, while the number of Tiktok fans is only 9.

3、 Trust endorsement: The official website is the only carrier of "official website certification"

What is the first reaction of a user when they come across a cutting-edge skincare product on Xiaohongshu? ——Go check the official website. According to a Trustpilot survey conducted in 2025, 78% of Generation Z consumers believe that "brands without official websites are not trustworthy".

The HTTPS security lock, ICP registration number, enterprise email, and 400 phone number on the official website, which may seem old-fashioned elements, have become "anti-counterfeiting labels" in the era of rampant AI forgery. A certain cross-border DTC brand once increased its payment conversion rate in the European and American markets by 21% due to loading a full site SSL certificate on its official website, and the reason was nothing else - users dared to use credit cards.

4、 SEO traffic: The official website is a perpetual motion machine for "passive customer acquisition"

The rise of AI search technologies such as ChatGPT and Perplexity has made "search" smarter and more reliant on structured content. The SEO logic of the official website has been upgraded from "keyword ranking" to "semantic entity association".

In 2024, a certain industrial component manufacturer released 200 technical white papers through its official website, which were cited over 12000 times by AI searches and generated overseas orders accounting for 35% of its annual revenue. The customer acquisition cost of these orders is almost zero, while the CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) of their LinkedIn ads during the same period is as high as $47 per person.

The SEO value of an official website lies in the fact that once its content is indexed by search engines, it is like depositing a "fixed deposit with increasing interest rates" in a bank.

5、 User Experience: The official website is a testing ground for "deep interaction"

Social media pursues "grabbing attention in 15 seconds", while official websites can host "15 minute deep reading". On the 3D official website of a new energy vehicle brand launched in 2025, the average stay time of users will be up to 8 minutes and 47 seconds, which is 6 times that of Tiktok live broadcast room.

Through WebGL technology, users can view the details inside the car in 360 °; Through AI customer service, personalized financial solutions can be calculated in real-time. This kind of 'heavy experience' can only be achieved on the official website - the platform does not allow you to load a 50MB 3D model, but the official website can.

6、 Digital Marketing: The official website is the "central processor" of omnichannel traffic

The marketing campaign of 2025 emphasizes "global attribution". Users may plant grass in Tiktok, compare prices in Xiaohongshu, consult on WeChat customer service, and finally place an order on the official website. If there were no official website as the data center, these behaviors would be like a kite with a broken string.

A FMCG group has raised the ROI of Tiktok advertising from 1.8 to 4.3 through the "global burying point" deployed on the official website. The key action is: after users click Tiktok advertising, the official website automatically generates landing pages with UTM parameters, and sends back behavior data to DMP in real time to reverse optimize the distribution crowd package.

7、 Compliance requirements: The official website is a 'policy safe haven'

In 2025, the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) will enter a deep water zone, requiring all businesses operating in Europe to provide "verifiable contact information and operating entity information". The "About Us" and "Legal Disclaimer" pages on the official website have become standard compliance features.

A Chinese game company was fined 2 million euros by the European Union for failing to disclose its cross-border data transmission agreement on its official website. After a retrospective review, it was found that if the official website had deployed a "multilingual compliance center" in advance, the losses could have been avoided.

8、 Longtermism: The official website is a safe deposit box for "digital heritage"

Social media accounts may disappear with the rise and fall of platforms, but official websites can survive for decades. Since its launch in 1996, IBM's official website has undergone 7 generations of iterations and has become a "technology holy land" for engineers worldwide.

In 2025, more and more companies will start using their official websites to document their brand chronicles: from the first product manuscript to the latest ESG report, from the founder's interview video in 1998 to the AI press conference in 2025. These contents may be overwhelmed by algorithms on social media, but they can always be accurately retrieved in the "Brand Museum" section of the official website.
