Which Monterey businesses need a small business website

ZIP code 40359, which covers Monterey and the area around it, had 100 business establishments with employees in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Gift and souvenir shops, 3 in the count. What works online: what you carry, store hours and an online store for the same monthly fee.
• Insurance agencies, 3 in the count. What works online: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
• Full-service restaurants, 3 in the count. What works online: the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

In Owen County, the Census counted 133 businesses with employees and 843 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Owen County has 3.2 times the national share of religious, civic and membership organizations: 16 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, so the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.

Who lives in Monterey, and what that means for your website

Rules that apply to a Monterey business website

A few rules apply to any Monterey business that sells or advertises online:

• Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Kentucky sales tax once they reach the state threshold: 200 or more sales into Kentucky, or $100,000 or more in gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky still keeps the 200-transaction test. KRS 139.340(2)(g)
