Where the numbers come from.
The Kootenay List is a public directory I built and maintain. Every business on it is a real business in a real Kootenay town, added by hand or claimed by its owner. Nobody can pay to be listed higher. A business counts as having a website when its listing carries one. That undercounts a little, because some owners never told the List their address, and it never overcounts. A business with more than one trade is counted under each of them, so the trade column adds up to more than the total.
If your business is one of the ones without a site, the first one starts at $2,000 and it is yours outright.
