Millport’s small businesses and what their websites need
The Census counted 44 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 35576, which includes Millport and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:
- Auto repair shops, 3 in the count. What works online: a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
- Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 3 in the count. What works online: emergency availability in plain words, the towns you cover and license information.
Lamar County as a whole had 243 employer establishments in 2023 and another 910 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Retail trade accounts for 18.5% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.3%) and manufacturing (9.5%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Millport.
