Questions

Before you ask.

How many glass companies are there in Scarborough?

42 listings, of which 1 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 41 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 24. To be in the top quarter you need more than 93. To be visible next to the busiest glass company here you would need 855, which took them years. 15 of the 42 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a glass company 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.
