Small business website advice, Brush edition

Mining, oil and gas account for 1.8% of the employer establishments in Morgan County, about seven times the national share. Energy work brings contractors, trucking, equipment rental and housing demand that rise and fall with the industry. Certifications belong on a contractor’s website, in writing.

Local competition in Brush

The Census counted 154 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 80723, which includes Brush and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 5 dental offices: the dentists and their training, the insurance plans you accept, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• 3 veterinary clinics: services, hours, the team and a contact form for appointment requests.
• 4 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• 3 local trucking companies: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.

County-wide, Morgan County counts 711 businesses with employees and 2,294 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). One sector stands out in Morgan County: trucking companies, with 36 establishments and 2.5 times the national share. What works for them online: lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Nondurable goods wholesalers are also overrepresented (22, 2.2 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

The customers behind the numbers in Brush

When Brush customers need you: the seasons

Brush weather, in normals: July highs around 90°F, January lows around 13°F, measured at Fort Morgan, 12 miles away (1991-2020). About 14 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 51 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 170 days. A dry climate favors irrigation, xeriscaping and pool service, and water rules are a common question. A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.

• 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

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Colorado agencies, Morgan County, the city of Brush or an attorney.
