Small business website advice, Graysville edition

Mining, oil and gas account for 4.5% of the employer establishments in Monroe County, far more than the national share. Field crews need lodging, food and repairs fast. Certifications belong on a contractor’s website, not just mentioned on the phone.

Small business websites in Graysville: the local business mix

Monroe County has, among its employer businesses:

• 9 site preparation contractors: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• 9 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
• 5 beauty salons: services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.
• 5 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.

County-wide, Monroe County counts 244 businesses with employees and 945 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Monroe County leans toward religious, civic and membership organizations (26 establishments, 2.9 times the national share). For them, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, and the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
