The Mount Sterling your customers live in

As the county seat of Montgomery County, Mount Sterling gets visitors from across Montgomery County for county business. That is a county of 28,822 people and 3 cities and towns. People who drive in from smaller towns plan the trip in advance, often the night before. If you handle court, property or other county matters, list those services one by one, in plain words.

Mount Sterling goes back to 1792, which gives it more than two centuries of local history behind it. In a place with that much history, families tend to stay with the businesses they know, and a newer business has to earn trust one job at a time. Write the year the business started and the names of the people behind it on the About page; a photo of the actual storefront or crew does more than any slogan. Most of this is a matter of saying it on the page, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.
