Someone still looking after it
13 sites in Caledon carry a copyright line five years old or more, which usually means nobody has opened the admin panel since launch. The monthly fee exists so that does not happen to yours.
Questions
Straight answers.
Do you work with businesses in Caledon?
Yes. We work across the entire Greater Toronto Area, including Caledon, where we surveyed 157 listings. Everything is done remotely — calls, email and a live preview link you can open while we build — so there is no need to meet in person unless you want to.
How many businesses in Caledon have no website?
35 of the 157 listings we checked have no website attached to their Google profile at all, and another 17 link to one that does not load, is blank or has been parked. On top of that, 29 have a site that works but has visibly not been touched in years.
How much does a website cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the business and how many pages it needs. You pay once it is built and you have seen it, not before. After launch it is $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO, cancellable any month.
How long does SEO take?
The Google map pack can move within weeks. Ranking in regular search results for competitive terms realistically takes three to six months of consistent work. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.

Where does your
own site land?
Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
