• Local trucking companies: 10. Their website should show the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• Physician practices: 36. Their website should show the doctors, the specialties, the insurance you accept and a contact form for new patients.
• Auto body shops: 9. Their website should show photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• Law offices: 15. Their website should show what kind of cases you take, where you practice and how a first consultation works.

In Kankakee County, the Census counted 2,268 businesses with employees and 6,690 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 54 nursing and residential care facilities operate in Kankakee County, 2.1 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, families research care for a relative; a good site gives customers levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. 17.3% of employed residents work in manufacturing, and 11.4% in retail trade. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
