Which Hickman businesses need a small business website

Hickman shares ZIP code 68372 with the surrounding area, where 84 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Chiropractic offices, 3 in the count. What works online: what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
• Remodeling contractors, 4 in the count. What works online: project galleries by room, the steps of a remodel and a consultation request form.

County-wide, Lancaster County counts 8,999 businesses with employees and 25,259 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Lancaster County has 1.4 times the national share of insurance agencies: 263 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, people compare agents before a renewal or a big purchase, so the website should show the lines you write, the carriers you represent and a quote request form. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
