Who you compete with in Salina

Salina shares ZIP code 84654 with the surrounding area, where 85 employer businesses were counted in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Auto repair shops: 3. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Full-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
• Dental offices: 3. Their website should show the team, the treatments in plain words and a form that sends appointment requests to your email.

In Sevier County, the Census counted 616 businesses with employees and 1,733 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Sevier County leans toward trucking companies (40 establishments, 3.2 times the national share). In that business, shippers and brokers vet carriers, and the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Before you publish: Utah and federal rules

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

• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• 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
