Web design for
garden centres in Scarborough.
There are 28 garden centres and nurseries listed on Google Maps in Scarborough. 21 of them put a website on the listing, and we opened every one of those 21 ourselves. Here is what was behind them.
0 of the 21 Scarborough sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 21 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)
What they are built on
What Scarborough runs on.
Behind the 21 sites we counted 4 platforms. The split says something about budget: 19% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 2 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 8 of them.
Out of 21 sites in Scarborough, 8 have page title does not name the city they work in and 4 have no main heading on the page. We counted each fault separately, so a site with three of them appears in three rows below.
None of the 10 faults we counted in Scarborough requires a rebuild on its own. They add up to one, though, when a site carries four or five of them at once.
Who you are up against
115 reviews
from the top five.
The spread in Scarborough is wide: from under 8 reviews in the bottom quarter to 1,534 at the top, with the middle at 22. 8 of the 28 garden centres have passed a hundred.
Scarborough holds 28 of the 446 garden centres and nurseries we found across the GTA, which ranks it 4th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside garden centres.
What this means for you
57% of Scarborough sites
are technically fine.
Garden centres and nurseries in Scarborough are in better shape than most trades we surveyed — 57% of the 21 sites are secure and work on a phone. Across the GTA the same field sits at 3% with no mobile version; Scarborough is at 0%, near enough the same. Standing out in a market like this takes more than being technically correct: it takes saying something the other 20 sites do not.
Where a garden centre lands depends on how many services need a page of their own — $590 at the small end, $3,900 for a practice with a dozen. Nothing is due until it is finished. Full pricing.

Questions
The usual questions.
How many garden centres are there in Scarborough?
28 listings, of which 0 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 28 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 Scarborough?
To be average in Scarborough you need 22. To be in the top quarter you need more than 120. To be visible next to the busiest garden centre here you would need 1,534, which took them years. 2 of the 28 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a garden centre in Scarborough 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.
