What actually breaks

No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 10 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 21 Pickering sites. The one that turns up most is no enquiry form anywhere on the site — 10 of them. Next is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does on 10, then no meta description, so google writes its own on 8.

A site here that fixes no enquiry form anywhere on the site alone is already ahead of 10 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Questions

What people ask us.

How many electricians are there in Pickering?

29 listings, of which 0 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 29 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 Pickering?

To be average in Pickering you need 8. To be in the top quarter you need more than 35. To be visible next to the busiest electrician here you would need 821, which took them years. 19 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 Pickering 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.
