Small business websites in Frankfort: the local business mix

Spink County has, among its employer businesses:

• Insurance agencies, 10 in the count. What works online: the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• Auto repair shops, 6 in the count. What works online: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Full-service restaurants, 5 in the count. What works online: the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

Spink County as a whole had 197 employer establishments in 2023 and another 507 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Spink County has about seven times the national share of nondurable goods wholesalers: 21 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, so the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer.
