Andover’s small businesses and what their websites need

From the 2023 county count for Day County:

• 6 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• 6 remodeling contractors: a gallery of past remodels, a clear list of what you do and don’t take on, and a form that sends estimate requests to your inbox.
• 6 full-service restaurants: the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

In Day County, the Census counted 226 businesses with employees and 516 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are retail trade (15.0%), construction (13.3%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (10.6%). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Andover typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Before you publish: South Dakota and federal rules

A few rules apply to any Andover business that sells or advertises online:

• South Dakota’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.2%, and municipalities add their own sales tax on top of it. South Dakota Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
