Web design for
caterers in Markham.
This page is the Markham slice of a survey of 28 catering companies — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 0 of the 27 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 28 listings were checked one at a time. 1 of the 27 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above.
What they are built on
5 platforms,
no clear winner.
We identified 5 different platforms behind the 27 sites in Markham. WordPress accounts for 8 of them. 1 sit on a free or entry-level builder — a fair reading of how much the business has put into being found.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 15 of them.
We recorded every fault we could see on the 27 Markham sites. The one that turns up most is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does — 15 of them. Next is no enquiry form anywhere on the site on 14, then page title does not name the city they work in on 11.
A site here that fixes no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does alone is already ahead of 15 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.
Who you are up against
270 reviews
from the top five.
The five most-reviewed caterers in Markham hold 1,106, 1,037, 434, 314, 308. The middle of the field sits at 38, the lower quarter below 12 and the upper quarter above 142. 9 of the 28 are past 100 reviews and 7 hold a rating of 4.9 or better.
Markham holds 28 of the 753 catering companies we found across the GTA, which ranks it 15th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside caterers.
What this means for you
The Markham leaders
already fixed this.

Questions
What people ask us.
How many caterers are there in Markham?
28 listings, of which 1 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 27 are either missing a site, running a broken one, or running one with at least one fault we could see from outside.
How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Markham?
To be average in Markham you need 38. To be in the top quarter you need more than 142. To be visible next to the busiest caterer here you would need 1,106, which took them years. 7 of the 28 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a caterer in Markham cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the practice and how many services need their own page, paid after the site is built and you have seen it. Hosting, edits, your Google Business Profile and ongoing SEO run $129 to $990 a month, cancellable any month.
