Which Mountain View businesses need a small business website

ZIP code 65548, which covers Mountain View and the area around it, had 136 business establishments with employees in 2023. Here is part of that mix, with what each website should show:

• 3 local trucking companies: the freight you haul, the areas you cover and a contact form for shippers.
• 4 auto repair shops: a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• 5 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
• 5 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

Howell County as a whole had 1,076 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,302 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Howell County has far more than the national share of wood products manufacturers: 24 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, builders and dealers buy by spec, so the website should show products and species, sizes, delivery area and a quote request form. The county also has a strong cluster of building material and garden stores (27 establishments, three times the national share). Mountain View’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (20.8%) and retail trade (9.0%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
