What share of businesses have a website? 246 territories
Auspector ·
31.7% of the 222,352,264 business records in our database carry website information — the business’s own site or a booking, appointment or other platform page; social profiles do not count (measured October 23, 2026). Among the 107 comparable territories (at least 100,000 records each), the rate runs from 73.4% (Netherlands) to 1.5% (Syria).
United States and United Kingdom
The United States is at rank 12 of 107: 61.7% of its 24.3 million records carry website information. The United Kingdom is at rank 10 with 62.4%. Across the 15 priced markets, the rate ranges from 73.4% (Netherlands) to 18.1% (Saudi Arabia).
Website information is not always an own website. Split by type of web address (measured October 24, 2026), 57.2% of US records point to the business’s own domain, 4.5% to a booking, appointment or other platform page, and 1.6% to a social profile only, which we do not count. In the UK, own websites account for 53.1% of records and lodging and booking pages alone for 8.5%.

Own website or platform page?
For 18 countries — the 15 priced markets plus Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg — we split every record by the type of its web address. Website information is the own website plus platform pages. A social media profile on its own does not count, so those records sit with the ones that have no web address.

Across the 18 countries, 51.5% of records point to an own domain and 6.8% to a platform page; social profiles make up 2.0%. The gap between website information and own website is widest in Austria (14.1 points): 13.8% of its records point to a lodging or booking page, which moves it from rank 3 to rank 9 of 18 when only own websites count. In Italy, 25.5% of all website information is a platform page rather than an own domain.
Lodging and booking pages are the largest platform type in 16 of the 18 countries. Social profiles are a small share everywhere, from 0.7% of records in Switzerland to 3.3% in Singapore.
Official surveys count something else
Eurostat reports that 79.01% of enterprises in the EU had a website in 2025, and 76.66% of small enterprises with 10 to 49 persons employed (Eurostat · Digital economy and society statistics – enterprises). In our records for the 27 EU member states, website information is present on 57.9%. The two figures measure different things:
- The survey asks enterprises; we count what is present on records of places.
- Its unit is the enterprise; ours is the place, so a chain is one enterprise and many records.
- It covers enterprises with at least 10 persons employed (employees and self-employed persons) in selected sectors; our records are not limited by size or sector.
Read the two side by side; neither corrects the other.
