• 3 physical, occupational and speech therapy practices: the conditions you treat, the therapists, the insurance you accept and a referral or contact form.
• 4 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.
• 4 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• 3 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.

17 trucking companies operate in Pike County, four times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers; the website should give customers lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form.
