How to read this
- High share beats high count if you sell in person. In El Paso one business in four has no site; in Seattle it is closer to one in nine. That is the difference between a good afternoon and a long one.
- Texas stands out. Four of the top eight cities by share are in Texas, which matches the state-level pattern in our earlier sample.
- Tech cities are the hardest. San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Washington all sit around 11%.
- Your own town probably beats all of these. Smaller cities are often higher than the big metros; check yours in the finder.
How we counted
- Every business on Pindrop's map within about 12 miles of the center of 50 U.S. cities, U.S. listings only, September 26, 2026. "No website" means none on record; churches, schools, parks and government offices are excluded.
