Who you compete with in L’Anse
The Census counted 101 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 49946, which includes L’Anse and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:
- Full-service restaurants (7): a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
- Auto repair shops (3): the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.
- Insurance agencies (3): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
- Real estate offices (3): the neighborhoods you know best, agent profiles and a contact form for buyers and sellers.
Baraga County as a whole had 173 employer establishments in 2023 and another 389 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Baraga County leans toward restaurants and bars (22 establishments, 1.5 times the national share). In that business, diners check menus, hours and location before they go, and the website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food and the room. Among L’Anse residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (23.0%) and manufacturing (19.0%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
