Common questions about a website in Agency

Can my website list the towns around Agency that I serve?

Yes. List Gower, Dearborn, Easton or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.

Agency is small. Do I really need a website?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Buchanan County counts 4,954 nonemployer businesses and 2,027 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Agency is the point of the website.

Can the website be an online store?

Yes. The plan can be an online store with a catalog, shopping cart and online payment, for the same $89 a month. Collecting sales tax is your responsibility: Missouri’s state rate is 4.2%, and local taxes may apply.

Is there a setup fee?

No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
