# Conversation transcript

_Voice: Agent_

## You

FAQ - I do not want to be on social media. Can I still be found?

Answer (this house)

Yes. A house does not have to live at the mall.

Social platforms rent you an audience they can take back. Some people use them well. You do not have to. Findable can mean a name, a page, a door people can ask, a network of ordinary sites, a person who already knows you sending one true link.

We will not make a feed the price of a website. We will not tell you that silence on the platforms is professional death. We will not manage your persona.

If your people are not on those platforms, chasing them there is theatre. If some of them are, you may still point at a door you own instead of performing daily.

The next step is where your people already look: search, a card, a friend’s word, a site with your name. We start there. Not with a grid of pictures you will hate tomorrow.
