Pettis County has, among its employer businesses:

  • Hardware stores: 7. Their website should show departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
  • Beauty salons: 14. Their website should show services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.

Pettis County as a whole had 1,004 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,330 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Pettis County leans toward building material and garden stores (25 establishments, 2.9 times the national share). For them, contractors and homeowners check stock and hours, and the website should show departments, brands, delivery options and hours by season. Nursing and residential care facilities are also overrepresented (28, 2.5 times the national share). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.
