If your service fits this housing, name it (propane delivery, oil furnaces, wood stoves, mobile homes, condo buildings): customers search for it in those words.

Paperwork and rules for Oregon businesses online
A few rules apply to any Moro business that sells or advertises online:
- The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Applies to a person that conducts business in Oregon, or provides products or services to Oregon residents, and that controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or the personal data of 25,000 or more consumers while deriving over 25% of annual gross revenue from the sale of personal data. A typical small business is outside the Act. Nonprofits came in on July 1, 2025. From January 1, 2026 controllers must honor opt-out preference signals and may not sell the data of a consumer under 16, and the Attorney General no longer has to give a cure period. Enforcement is by the Oregon DOJ only; there is no private right of action. ORS 646A.570 to 646A.589 (SB 619, 2023; amended by HB 3875, 2025)
- Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue

Does a small business in Moro need a website?
Your market is bigger than the city: Sherman County has 148 nonemployer businesses and 63 with employees (2023), and customers search across the whole area. A website is how people outside Moro find you.
My customers come from all over Sherman County. Can the website say that?
Yes. The plan is the same anywhere in Oregon, and the website can name every town in Sherman County you cover.
Can I tell customers in Dufur that I serve their town?
Yes. A service area page can name each town you cover, such as Rufus, Dufur and Grass Valley.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
