Paterson web design and SEO for businesses that need clearer positioning in the New Jersey market.

Paterson employs more than 67,000 people with no single industry dominating the job market, though health care is now the largest sector at roughly 10,410 workers, led by St. Joseph's Health as the city's biggest hospital employer. Government, as the seat of Passaic County, is Paterson's largest single employer, while other major employers include longtime manufacturers like Accurate Box Company, an 81-year-old corrugated box maker, and M. Tucker, a foodservice distribution operation serving the greater New York market.

Paterson's industrial identity traces to 1791, when Alexander Hamilton's Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures chose the Great Falls as the site of one of the country's first planned factory towns, and by the 1880s the city was shipping silk worldwide as home to more than a third of all US silk factories. As large manufacturers left in the decades since, small businesses and immigrant entrepreneurs, including large Hispanic, Arab, Turkish, and South Asian communities, filled the gap left behind, and textile dyeing, chemicals, and electronics production continue on a smaller scale today.

A local economy built on small, independently owned businesses rather than a handful of large employers means Paterson's plumbers, dentists, HVAC contractors, and attorneys are competing against thousands of similarly small operations for the same searches, with no dominant corporate directory to lean on. In a city where entrepreneurs have historically filled the space left by departed industry, being findable online is often the difference between winning that next customer and losing them to the storefront next door.
