New Lexington’s small businesses and what their websites need

The Census counted 171 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 43764, which includes New Lexington and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Quick-service restaurants: 9. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• Grocery stores: 3. Their website should show what you carry, local products and directions.
• Law offices: 4. Their website should show practice areas in plain words, the attorneys and a contact form for consultations.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 3. Their website should show emergency availability in plain words, the towns you cover and license information.

In Perry County, the Census counted 455 businesses with employees and 2,188 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 42 social assistance and child care providers operate in Perry County, four times what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, families look for programs and eligibility; the website should give customers programs, eligibility, hours and how to apply or enroll. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 36 of them, at 2.1 times the national share. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
