Why Murray Businesses Need a Stronger Online Presence
Murray has a lot going for it. Murray State University brings around 10,000 students to town during the school year, and Kentucky Lake and Land Between The Lakes draw outdoor enthusiasts from across the region year-round. The downtown Court Square is the heartbeat of the community, lined with murals, home to Imagination Alley, and surrounded by local shops. But here's the problem: a lot of Murray businesses still don't have a website, or they're relying on a Facebook page and a phone number. When a Murray State student searches for a nearby gym, or a tourist planning a lake trip looks for a local restaurant, you need to show up. A Facebook page isn't enough.
Murray is one of Kentucky's fastest-growing cities, and with a median age of just 25.7 years, this is a town full of people who live on their phones. Whether you're running a fitness studio on Paramount Drive, a pharmacy like Alex's Family Pharmacy, a daycare, or a shop near the Calloway County Courthouse, your customers are searching for you online first. I build websites that make sure they actually find you. And since I work 100% remotely, the 220 miles between Louisville and Murray doesn't slow anything down.
