Emmett: the numbers behind the market

Emmett’s small businesses and what their websites need

Pottawatomie County has, among its employer businesses:

• Custom home builders (13): a portfolio page per home, the steps of working with you and a contact form for buyers who are still comparing builders.
• Veterinary clinics (9): the veterinarians, services, hours and what to do in an emergency.
• Auto repair shops (17): the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Beer, wine and liquor stores (7): store hours, what you carry and events or tastings, on a site you control.
• Insurance agencies (19): auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.

In Pottawatomie County, the Census counted 703 businesses with employees and 2,113 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Pottawatomie County has 1.7 times the national share of specialty trade contractors: 73 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, so the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. The county also has a strong cluster of homebuilders and building contractors (39 establishments, 1.8 times the national share). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Emmett.

What Kansas asks of a business with a website

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