• Insurance agencies (38): the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• Dental offices (24): the dentists and their training, the insurance plans you accept, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (25): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Gyms and fitness studios (9): class schedules, membership options and a form for a first visit.

The St. Louis climate, from a business owner’s view

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Seminole weather station (16 miles from St. Louis), July highs average 95°F and January lows average 26°F. About 43 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 79 times a year.

What Oklahoma asks of a business with a website

• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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
