Lime Ridge at a glance

What kind of businesses Lime Ridge has

Some of the business types in Sauk County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Hotels and motels (52): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Real estate offices (70): a page about each area you cover and an easy way for buyers and sellers to reach the right agent.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (37): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• Gift and souvenir shops (10): what you carry, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.
• Veterinary clinics (16): the veterinarians, services, hours and what to do in an emergency.

Sauk County as a whole had 1,876 employer establishments in 2023 and another 5,071 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Sauk County has 4.3 times the national share of hotels, inns and other lodging: 68 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, so the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Next on the list: recreation and amusement businesses, 48 of them, at 2.4 times the national share. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
