• 4 food trucks: the menu, where to find you this week and a form for private events.
• 6 auto body shops: photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• 16 law offices: practice areas in plain words, the attorneys and a contact form for consultations.

Across Covington County, County Business Patterns counted 864 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 2,393 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Covington County has about six times the national share of heavy and civil construction firms: 23 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, public agencies and developers check qualifications first, so the website should show project types, equipment, bonding and licensing information and a contact for bid invitations. Vehicle dealers are also overrepresented (28, 2.3 times the national share).
