The businesses that compete for customers in Marcellus

Marcellus shares ZIP code 13108 with the surrounding area, where 128 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A few examples from the same count:

• 6 electrical contractors: residential and commercial services on separate pages, license information and a quote form.

County-wide, Onondaga County counts 11,166 businesses with employees and 33,106 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Onondaga County has 1.6 times the national share of telecommunications providers: 122 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, customers compare coverage and plans, so the website should show coverage areas, plans and how to sign up or get support. Waste management and remediation companies are also overrepresented (57, 1.5 times the national share). Among Marcellus residents who work, the largest fields are retail trade (8.7%) and arts, entertainment, recreation, lodging and food service (8.6%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
