Which Campbell businesses need a small business website

The Census Bureau’s ZIP Code Business Patterns put 2,025 establishments with paid employees in Campbell’s ZIP code (95008) in 2023. A few examples from the same count:

• Remodeling contractors, 72 in the count. What works online: before-and-after photos of finished kitchens and baths, the neighborhoods you work in and a quote request form.
• Chiropractic offices, 24 in the count. What works online: what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
• Engineering firms, 33 in the count. What works online: your disciplines, project examples and a contact form for owners and contractors.
• Auto repair shops, 47 in the count. What works online: a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• Veterinary clinics, 20 in the count. What works online: the vets, the services, your hours and emergency instructions, plus a map to the clinic.

In Santa Clara County, the Census counted 49,154 businesses with employees and 140,135 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Santa Clara County leans toward professional service firms (8,686 establishments, 1.5 times the national share). For them, clients check credentials before they call, and the website should show practice areas, people and credentials, and a contact form that reaches the right person. Schools and training providers are also overrepresented (1,181, 1.7 times the national share).

Before you publish: California and federal rules

These are some of the California and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? California calls that a fictitious business name (FBN), and it has to be registered first. California Business and Professions Code section 17900 et seq.
• Cities and counties issue the local business license or business tax certificate; the state’s CalGOLD tool lists the permits a given business needs at a given address. In Campbell, that means asking Santa Clara County and the City of Campbell. Official source

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
