  • Electrical contractors, 4 in the count. What works online: a page per service (panels, wiring, generators, lighting), your service area and a quote form.
  • Quick-service restaurants, 6 in the count. What works online: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

In Licking County, the Census counted 3,277 businesses with employees and 13,733 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Licking County leans toward warehousing and storage operators (22 establishments, 2.8 times the national share). In that business, businesses compare space, location and services, and the website should show square footage, services, location and a quote request. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (182, 1.5 times the national share). The jobs Buckeye Lake residents hold are mostly in retail trade (13.1%) and education, health care and social assistance (10.7%).

Paperwork and rules for Ohio businesses online

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Buckeye Lake businesses:
