What kind of businesses Horatio has

Some of the business types in Sevier County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Physician practices (7): the doctors, the specialties, the insurance you accept and a contact form for new patients.
• Quick-service restaurants (9): the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

Sevier County as a whole had 263 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,022 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Sevier County has 2.1 times the national share of repair and maintenance shops: 15 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, customers search in a hurry when something breaks, so the website should show what you repair, brands you work on, hours and a contact form. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (18, 1.8 times the national share).
