Businesses in and around Marquette

Green Lake County has, among its employer businesses:

• 11 auto repair shops: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• 24 full-service restaurants: the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.
• 11 remodeling contractors: before-and-after photos, the areas you serve and how estimates work.

In Green Lake County, the Census counted 463 businesses with employees and 1,531 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Green Lake County leans toward trucking companies (23 establishments, 2.4 times the national share). For them, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
