What they are built on

7 platforms,
no clear winner.

Behind the 36 sites we counted 7 platforms. The split says something about budget: 22% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 1 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 10 of them.

10 of the 36 gyms and fitness studios we opened in Oshawa share the same fault: page title does not name the city they work in. 10 have a second one on top of it — no enquiry form anywhere on the site. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.

If you own one of these 36 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 10 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.

What this means for you

3 sites in Oshawa
do not load at all.

We requested every one: 3 gyms and fitness studios in Oshawa have a website on their Google listing that is dead or parked, and 5 more load but visibly have not been touched in years. Google still sends people to all of them.

Where a gym 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

Straight answers.

How many gyms are there in Oshawa?

41 listings, of which 1 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 40 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 84. To be in the top quarter you need more than 384. To be visible next to the busiest gym here you would need 4,467, which took them years. 16 of the 41 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a gym 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.
