Which Petrolia businesses need a small business website

Clay County has, among its employer businesses:

• 5 quick-service restaurants: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

County-wide, Clay County counts 162 businesses with employees and 933 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). 15 specialty trade contractors operate in Clay County, 1.5 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks; the website should give customers one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form.
