Oologah up close: notes for a small business website

Oologah lies on the Verdigris River. Water also means weather, insurance questions and property work, and customers look for specialists. If your work is on or near the water, say which waters, marinas or shorelines you serve; it is what customers search for.

Small business websites in Oologah: the local business mix

The Census counted 90 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 74053, which includes Oologah and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• Dental offices: 6. Their website should show insurance plans, new-patient information and a map to the office.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 4. Their website should show the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

Across Rogers County, County Business Patterns counted 1,953 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 7,976 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Rogers County has about five times the national share of metal fabrication shops: 58 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, buyers look for capabilities and tolerances, so the website should show capabilities, equipment, materials, certifications and a request-for-quote form. The county also has a strong cluster of heavy and civil construction firms (33 establishments, 3.8 times the national share). The jobs Oologah residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (21.0%) and manufacturing (12.5%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Oologah.

Running a website from Oologah: the Oklahoma rules

A few rules apply to any Oologah business that sells or advertises online:

• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Oklahoma sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in Oklahoma taxable sales in the preceding or current calendar year (marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Oklahoma tax are not counted toward the seller’s threshold). 68 O.S. § 1392
