The local picture in Lincoln

Being part of the St. Catharines – Niagara census metropolitan area means customers from Lincoln also look at businesses across the whole metro area. A website that makes clear you are local, with your address and the neighbourhoods you serve, gives you an edge over larger competitors further away.

The municipality takes in places such as Beamsville, Campden, Golden Horseshoe Trailer Park and Jordan, so customers may search for any of those names. A service area section that lists them helps people from each community see that you cover them.

Lincoln counted 1,110 businesses with employees in June 2026, and 54.4% of them had one to four employees. Most of your competition is small and local too, so a professional website is a real differentiator.

Paperwork and rules for Ontario businesses online

• Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions.
