What actually breaks

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 10 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 19 Oshawa sites. The one that turns up most is page title does not name the city they work in — 10 of them. Next is copyright line years out of date on 5, then no meta description, so google writes its own on 4.

A site here that fixes page title does not name the city they work in alone is already ahead of 10 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Questions

Straight answers.

How many logistics companies are there in Oshawa?

25 listings, of which 4 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 21 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 21. To be in the top quarter you need more than 55. To be visible next to the busiest logistics company here you would need 526, which took them years. 6 of the 25 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a logistics company 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.

Before you decide anything

Find out whether
you have a problem.

Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
