Clinton’s small businesses and what their websites need

Clinton shares ZIP code 64735 with the surrounding area, where 444 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 4 new car dealers: brand pages, service department hours and contact forms for sales and service.
• 6 pharmacies: hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.
• 10 insurance agencies: the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• 3 floor covering stores: product lines, installation services and a form to request a measurement.
• 5 painting contractors: interior and exterior project photos, the areas you serve and an estimate request form.

17 building material and garden stores operate in Henry County, 3.3 times what the national mix would predict.
