• Insurance agencies: 4. Their website should show auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.

Plymouth County as a whole had 667 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,913 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Plymouth County has about five times the national share of trucking companies: 65 of them in the 2023 count.

Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
