What they are built on

3 of them are on
a free builder.

Behind the 24 sites we counted 4 platforms. The split says something about budget: 25% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 3 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.

What actually breaks

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 9 of them.

9 of the 24 electrical contractors we opened in Oshawa share the same fault: page title does not name the city they work in. 8 have a second one on top of it — no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.

If you own one of these 24 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 9 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many electricians are there in Oshawa?

29 listings, of which 2 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 Oshawa?

To be average in Oshawa you need 11. To be in the top quarter you need more than 58. To be visible next to the busiest electrician here you would need 6,845, which took them years. 17 of the 29 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a electrician in Oshawa 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.
