Who you compete with in Gattman

From the 2023 county count for Monroe County:

• 6 hardware stores: departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
• 29 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 7 pharmacies: hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• 13 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

In Monroe County, the Census counted 600 businesses with employees and 2,336 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Monroe County has three times the national share of banks and lenders: 37 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, customers compare rates and branches, so the website should show branch hours, services and the required disclosures. Building material and garden stores are also overrepresented (15, 2.9 times the national share). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
