Reading the Bushong customer

Bushong is one of 9 municipalities in Lyon County, a county of 32,266 people.

Broadband reaches 89.2% of homes, and 19.3% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 57.9% of households.

Small business websites in Bushong: the local business mix

From the 2023 county count for Lyon County:

• Beer, wine and liquor stores (13): store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
• Insurance agencies (29): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• Quick-service restaurants (35): today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• Auto repair shops (12): a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• Hotels and motels (13): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.

Across Lyon County, County Business Patterns counted 839 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,930 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Lyon County has 2.9 times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 27 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit.

Kansas and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
