What the Census counts in Wallingford

Which Wallingford businesses need a small business website

Across Emmet County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:

• 9 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• 8 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• 5 child care centers: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.
• 5 full-service restaurants: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.

In Emmet County, the Census counted 268 businesses with employees and 679 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Emmet County has three times the national share of trucking companies: 16 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form.
