Conetoe up close: notes for a small business website

27.0% of homes in Conetoe heat with propane or other bottled gas, against 6.0% in North Carolina. Fuel delivery, furnace service and chimney work are year-round local trades here, and customers look for them before the cold arrives. A page per service, written the way customers say it, with your service area, works better than a single long list.
