Massachusetts by the numbers

Massachusetts runs on small business.

756,096small businesses99.5% of all businesses in Massachusetts.
1,516,837people work for them44.7% of Massachusetts employees, the 38th-highest share of the 50 states.
612,132run with no employeesAbout 81% of Massachusetts small businesses are owner-run.
4,824net new jobsAdded by Massachusetts small businesses from March 2023 to March 2024.

44.7% of Massachusetts workers are employed by a small business, below the national figure of 45.9%. By count, Massachusetts ranks 13th among the 50 states for small businesses.

And roughly 81 in 100 are run by the owner alone. That owner is usually the one who has to figure out the website, in between everything else. That is who Website Build Co is for: you tell us about the business, and we handle the design, the writing, the setup and the launch.

Where the jobs are

Massachusetts's biggest small business industries.

In Massachusetts, health care and social assistance employs more small business workers than any other industry. Here is what each of the top three needs from a website.

  1. 1. Health care and social assistance224,073 small business jobs

    Clinics, therapists, dentists, home care agencies and child care centers. Their sites need clear services, insurance and intake details, and an easy way to request an appointment.

  2. 2. Food service and hospitality198,748 small business jobs

    Restaurants, cafes, bars and inns. These sites are used on phones: a menu that loads fast, hours, directions and a way to order or book. We build websites for restaurants.

  3. 3. Professional services182,888 small business jobs

    Accountants, lawyers, engineers, consultants and agencies. The website is often the first meeting, so it has to look credible and make booking a consult easy.

Ranked by small business employment, from the same SBA profile. Whatever your industry, the goal is the same: when someone in Boston searches for what you do, they find you and call.

Local search

Get found in Boston, Worcester and Springfield

Most people find a local business the same way: they search on their phone, look at the map results and the first few websites, and call the one that looks right. A good website is what turns that search into a call.

Every site we build has the SEO basics done right: fast pages, a mobile-first design, clear page titles that name what you do and where, and Google Search Console set up so you can see how people find you.

Serve more than one town? The Business package adds a page for each service and each area you cover, so a customer searching in Worcester or Springfield lands on a page written for them, not a generic home page.

We also set up your Google Business Profile, the listing that shows on the map. We've built sites that rank #1 on Google, but no honest company can promise a ranking. How we handle local SEO.

Selling online

Online stores for Massachusetts businesses.

Our Online Store package builds your store on Shopify: design, up to 100 products loaded, payments, shipping and taxes set up, starting at $3,499.

Massachusetts charges a 6.25% state sales tax with no local sales taxes on top, so the rate is 6.25% across the state (Tax Foundation, July 1, 2026). We set up your Shopify store to charge it at checkout.

Sales tax rules depend on where you sell and ship, so check with your accountant about where you need to collect. We handle the setup in Shopify once you know.
