Excelsior Estates’ small businesses and what their websites need

The Census counted 99 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 64062, which includes Excelsior Estates and its surroundings. Among them:

  • Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors (6): maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
  • Full-service restaurants (3): the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

Ray County as a whole had 360 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,453 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Ray County has 2.4 times the national share of specialty trade contractors: 55 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. Repair and maintenance shops are also overrepresented (22, 2.3 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
