Every line above is something we saw ourselves — 21 sites opened, 1 of them unusable on a phone, 1 still served without HTTPS. Nothing is estimated. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)

What they are built on

5 platforms,
no clear winner.

21 sites, 5 platforms, 6 of them carrying a copyright line from this year or last. The remaining 15 either date themselves earlier or carry no date at all — which is usually the more honest signal.

What actually breaks

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 13 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 21 Scarborough sites. The one that turns up most is page title does not name the city they work in — 13 of them. Next is no structured data for google to read on 10, then no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does on 8.

A site here that fixes page title does not name the city they work in alone is already ahead of 13 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Who you are up against

90 reviews
from the top five.

A logistics company in Scarborough with 3 reviews is exactly average here. 8 of the 48 hold 4.9 or better, so a high rating is table stakes in this market — the five at the top are separated by volume: 883, 212, 158, 102, 93.

Scarborough is the 3rd largest market for logistics companies in our survey of the GTA, with 48 of them against 607 across the region. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside logistics companies.

What this means for you

An opening in
Scarborough.

Only 1 of the five most-reviewed logistics companies in Scarborough run a secure, mobile site — and those five hold 1,448 reviews between them. When the most visible names in a market look dated, being the one that does not is cheaper than out-reviewing them.

Rebuilding one of the 21 sites we opened in Scarborough usually costs less than people expect: $590 to $2,400 depending on size, paid after delivery, with $129 to $590 a month for hosting, edits and the Google listing. Full pricing.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many logistics companies are there in Scarborough?

We counted 48 listed on Google Maps. 21 have a website, 27 have none attached to the listing, and 1 have one that does not load. Of the working sites, 1 have no mobile version and 1 are still served without HTTPS.

How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Scarborough?

There is no single number, but the shape of the market is clear: a quarter of logistics companies in Scarborough sit below 0 reviews, half sit below 3, and the top five run from 93 to 883. Getting past the median is a realistic first target; catching the top five usually is not.

What does a website for a logistics company in Scarborough cost?

A one-location logistics company is normally $590 to $1,190, a larger practice with several people and a dozen services runs to $2,400, and law, medical and financial practices sit at $3,900. Payment comes after delivery. The monthly part starts at $129 and covers hosting, edits and your Google listing.
