Before you publish: Kentucky and federal rules
Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to many Smithland businesses:
- Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
General information, not legal advice: confirm the details with the agency that handles each item.

What Smithland business owners ask us
Will people in Paducah and Brookport see that I work there too?
Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Paducah, Brookport, Calvert City or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.
Does a small business in Smithland need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Livingston County counts 555 nonemployer businesses and 136 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Smithland is the point of the website.
Will someone from Aria visit my business in Smithland?
No visits: Aria works remotely from Curitiba, Brazil. You send your logo, photos and texts by email, and approve the website on a temporary link.
