Local competition in Patmos

The Census counted 327 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 71801, which includes Patmos and its surroundings. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• Hotels and motels, 8 in the count. What works online: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Physical, occupational and speech therapy practices, 7 in the count. What works online: the conditions you treat, the therapists, the insurance you accept and a referral or contact form.
• Auto repair shops, 9 in the count. What works online: the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Quick-service restaurants, 16 in the count. What works online: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

Across Hempstead County, County Business Patterns counted 378 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,145 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Hempstead County has 1.6 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 23 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. The county also has a strong cluster of repair and maintenance shops (17 establishments, 1.7 times the national share). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Patmos.
