Which Anthon businesses need a small business website

ZIP code 51004, which covers Anthon and the area around it, had 22 business establishments with employees in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 3 insurance agencies: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.

Woodbury County as a whole had 2,622 employer establishments in 2023 and another 6,279 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Woodbury County has three times the national share of food manufacturers: 29 of them in the 2023 count.
