What kind of businesses Magnet has
Some of the business types in Cedar County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:
- Custom home builders: 6. Their website should show floor plans and photos of homes you have built, the lots or areas you build in and a way to start a conversation.
- Insurance agencies: 12. Their website should show the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
- Auto repair shops: 7. Their website should show certifications, warranty terms in plain words and a contact form for estimates.
In Cedar County, the Census counted 288 businesses with employees and 837 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Cedar County has about five times the national share of nondurable goods wholesalers: 19 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, so the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. The county also has a strong cluster of trucking companies (23 establishments, four times the national share).
