Your Staples audience

Guadalupe County: 201,111 residents (2025) in 13 incorporated places. Census estimates for a city this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $92,375, and half the residents are older than 37.6. 93.9% of households have broadband and 11.4% rely on a cellphone data plan alone. Homeowners are 77.8% of households.

The businesses that compete for customers in Staples

Guadalupe County has, among its employer businesses:

• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 76. Their website should show the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.
• Pet grooming and boarding businesses: 22. Their website should show services and prices you choose to publish, photos of happy clients and a form to ask for a spot.
• Auto body shops: 27. Their website should show photos of repairs, how you handle insurance claims and a form to request an estimate.
• Insurance agencies: 53. Their website should show auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• Physician practices: 65. Their website should show the doctors, specialties, insurance accepted and a form for new-patient requests.
• Gyms and fitness studios: 22. Their website should show class schedules, membership options and a form for a first visit.

In Guadalupe County, the Census counted 2,768 businesses with employees and 16,001 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Guadalupe County has 1.6 times the national share of specialty trade contractors: 281 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, homeowners search by trade and town when something breaks, so the website should show one page per service, the towns you cover, license information and a quote form. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
