Iowa rules to know before your website goes live
Some homework before launch:
- 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
- Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue

Yes. Tell us by email which towns you cover, Coppock and Crawfordsville included, and they go on the website’s service area page.
Does a small business in Olds need a website?
Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Henry County counts 1,337 nonemployer businesses and 482 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Olds is the point of the website.
