I live in Sedalia. I shop here, eat here, and work here. So when I say most Sedalia business websites need work, I'm not guessing. I looked at 20 of them and the patterns were consistent: outdated designs, broken contact forms, sites that look terrible on a phone, and businesses with no website at all.
When someone new moves to Sedalia, or a Whiteman AFB family PCSes in, or a State Fair visitor needs a service, they Google it. "Auto repair Sedalia MO." "Restaurants near me." "Plumber Sedalia Missouri." If your business doesn't show up, or shows up with a site that looks like it was built in 2012, you lose that customer to whoever does show up.
The good news: the competition for online visibility in Sedalia is almost nonexistent. Most local businesses either don't have a website or have one that barely functions. That means a clean, fast, modern website puts you ahead of most of your competitors without spending a dime on ads.
