Who is searching in Encino

Small business websites in Encino: the local business mix

From the 2023 county count for Torrance County:

  • Hotels and motels: 8. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
  • Auto repair shops: 5. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
  • Quick-service restaurants: 7. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

Across Torrance County, County Business Patterns counted 205 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 874 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. By number of employer establishments, retail trade leads in Torrance County (21.5%), followed by construction (11.7%) and accommodation and food services (9.8%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

New Mexico and federal rules for small business websites

Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Encino businesses:

  • Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
  • New Mexico has no sales tax as such: it levies a GROSS RECEIPTS TAX on the seller. The state portion is 4.875% and counties and municipalities add their own rates, so the combined rate varies by location (roughly 5.125% to 8.6875%). An out-of-state seller reporting under the out-of-state location code pays the 4.875% statewide rate. New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
