The Huntingdon your customers live in

In Huntingdon, 22.2% of workers walk to their jobs and 0.0% take public transportation, a rare share for Pennsylvania. Customers on foot decide on the spot, comparing two or three places within a few blocks. Say which corner, which entrance and which bus or train stop on the contact page, with a photo of the storefront. The website is where all of this gets settled, so it pays to get the basics right.

Heating oil and kerosene still heat 34.0% of homes in Huntingdon (Pennsylvania: 14.0%). The housing stock decides what kind of help people call for: repairs, heating service, roofing and yard work follow the kind of homes people live in. Service pages named the way customers search, plus the area you cover, works better than a single long list.

Rules that apply to a Huntingdon business website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Local business tax receipts in Pennsylvania can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Huntingdon County and Huntingdon. Official source
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Pennsylvania calls that a fictitious name, and it has to be registered first. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
