Falkland’s small businesses and what their websites need

Pitt County has, among its employer businesses:

• 170 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 55 child care centers: the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
• 93 real estate offices: market areas, how you work with buyers and sellers and a contact form.
• 35 home health care agencies: the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.
• 20 furniture stores: product photos by room, store hours and, if you want, an online store with the same monthly fee.

Pitt County as a whole had 3,817 employer establishments in 2023 and another 12,823 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Pitt County leans toward social assistance and child care providers (131 establishments, 1.4 times the national share). In that business, families look for programs and eligibility, and the website should show programs, eligibility, hours and how to apply or enroll. Next on the list: vehicle dealers, 82 of them, at 1.5 times the national share.
