Loyall up close: notes for a small business website

Mining, oil and gas are a real industry here: 15 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Energy work brings contractors, trucking, equipment rental and housing demand that rise and fall with the industry. Say clearly which areas and job sites you serve, your equipment and how to send a job request.

Hot months, wet months: Loyall through the year

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Baxter, is 1.1 miles from Loyall. It records an average high of 85°F in July and an average low of 26°F in January. Precipitation totals about 52 inches a year, with December the wettest month. About 13 days a year hit 90°F or more. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often after a storm. Update the homepage before your busy season: a short email with the new text is all it takes.

Which Loyall businesses need a small business website

From the 2023 county count for Harlan County:

• 7 funeral homes: your services explained with care, contact information and directions.
• 9 pharmacies: hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• 8 grocery stores: what you carry, local products and directions.
• 20 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• 11 law offices: what kind of cases you take, where you practice and how a first consultation works.

Harlan County as a whole had 370 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,190 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Harlan County has twice the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 28 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Next on the list: food and beverage stores, 17 of them, at 2.4 times the national share.
