Doing business in Dexter

Agricultural services are a big part of Dexter’s economy, alongside manufacturing, Mercy Hospital Stoddard and the public schools. The Dexter Chamber of Commerce also runs economic development and tourism for the town, and its building houses a Three Rivers College campus and business incubators.

The chamber counts about 12,900 people in the 63841 ZIP code, far more than live inside city limits, so many customers come from the countryside and from towns like Essex, Bloomfield, Bernie and Puxico. A Dexter business does well with a website and Google profile that name the area it really serves.

Questions from Dexter business owners

Do you have an office in Dexter?

No. Mississippi River Marketing has one base, in East Prairie, Missouri, about 45 miles away by road. We meet with Dexter business owners in person by appointment, or by phone and video, and we’ll never list an address we don’t have.

Can you help my business show up on Google Maps in Dexter?

We can make your Google Business Profile complete and accurate, build clear service pages and help you earn honest reviews. Google’s local results weigh relevance, distance and prominence, so nobody can promise a position, but those are the parts a business can improve.

How much does a website cost for a Dexter business?

It depends on the number of pages, who writes the words and the features you need. After a short conversation we send a written quote with the yearly costs spelled out. Our guide How much does a small business website cost? explains what drives the price.

Most of our customers are rural. Does a website still matter?

Yes. Rural customers search on their phones too, usually for hours, directions and a phone number. A fast website and an accurate Google profile answer those questions before they make the drive.
