Small business websites in Seat Pleasant: the local business mix

The Census counted 620 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 20743, which includes Seat Pleasant and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:

• Quick-service restaurants (58): the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Beer, wine and liquor stores (12): store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
• Auto repair shops (18): the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
• Nail salons (8): a price list, the technicians and a contact form.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (12): emergency availability in plain words, the towns you cover and license information.

In Prince George’s County, the Census counted 16,350 businesses with employees and 100,828 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Prince George’s County leans toward food and beverage stores (594 establishments, 1.9 times the national share). In that business, shoppers check hours, specials and what is in stock, and the website should show hours, weekly specials, departments and directions. The county also has a strong cluster of nursing and residential care facilities (259 establishments, 1.4 times the national share). Seat Pleasant’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (12.9%) and professional, management and administrative services (12.0%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Your Seat Pleasant audience

A website that makes the essentials obvious at a glance (what you do, where you are, how to reach you) serves both audiences.

Public transportation carries 5.6% of Seat Pleasant commuters. Customers who ride transit want to know the nearest stop and the walking route from it.

Before you publish: Maryland and federal rules

These are some of the Maryland and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Maryland or targeting Maryland residents that, in the preceding calendar year, controlled or processed the personal data of at least 35,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of at least 10,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from selling personal data. Maryland’s 35,000-consumer threshold is the lowest in the country, so a small business with a real Maryland customer base can be caught — a local service business or small store usually stays below it, but a site with tens of thousands of Maryland visitors whose data it processes should check. Md. Code, Commercial Law §§14-4701 et seq., Subtitle 47 (SB 541 / HB 567, 2024)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
