Industries that stand out in Somerset

Of the 28,585 business sites counted in the Somerset local authority area (2026), these groups stand out against the national mix:

• Trades such as electricians, plumbers and roofers (2,405): before-and-after photos and a quote form that lands in their inbox.
• Car dealers and motor trade businesses (1,085): directions and opening hours and current stock with photos.
• Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (410): how to get there and what is nearby.
• Manufacturers and engineering workshops (150): capabilities and equipment and certifications.

Small firms dominate: 84.8% have fewer than ten staff, and 17.9% are sole proprietors. In every one of these sectors, the website that wins is the one that answers questions before the customer has to ask.

Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online

Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:

• A limited company must include its name on all company documents, publicity and letters, and on business letters, order forms and websites it must also show its registered number, its registered office address and where it is registered. GOV.UK: company names on websites
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
