The Kingston your customers live in

Tuscola County has 47 manufacturing establishments with employees, and manufacturing is the job of 24.2% of working residents in Kingston. Industrial work brings a business-to-business market: machine shops, welders, electricians, staffing firms, trucking and maintenance contractors that sell to plants rather than to households. A capabilities page, the standards you work to and a request-for-quote form that accepts the details are the core of a B2B website.

In Tuscola County, the Census counted 842 businesses with employees and 3,581 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. One sector stands out in Tuscola County: building material and garden stores, with 22 establishments and three times the national share. What works for them online: departments, brands, delivery options and hours by season. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Michigan and federal rules for small business websites

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Michigan rules as any other.

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
