Web design for
notaries in Scarborough.
This page is the Scarborough slice of a survey of 44 notary offices — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 0 of the 42 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 44 listings were checked one at a time. 2 of the 42 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)
What they are built on
6 of them are on
a free builder.
We identified 6 different platforms behind the 42 sites in Scarborough. WordPress accounts for 18 of them. 6 sit on a free or entry-level builder — a fair reading of how much the business has put into being found.
What actually breaks
No structured data for google to read
on 18 of them.
Sorted by how often it appears, the fault list for notaries in Scarborough starts with no structured data for google to read (18 sites) and no enquiry form anywhere on the site (14). Both are cheap to fix and neither requires rebuilding anything.
We would start at the bottom of that list, not the top — copyright line years out of date affects fewer sites here (13), which means fixing it puts you ahead of the 29 that already have it right only if the basics are done too.
Who you are up against
332 reviews
from the top five.
The five most-reviewed notaries in Scarborough hold 1,100, 750, 732, 461, 372. The middle of the field sits at 40, the lower quarter below 9 and the upper quarter above 121. 14 of the 44 are past 100 reviews and 25 hold a rating of 4.9 or better.
Scarborough holds 44 of the 535 notary offices 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 notaries.
What this means for you
The Scarborough leaders
already fixed this.
4 of the five most-reviewed notaries in Scarborough run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 3,415 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.
The 2 notary offices in Scarborough with no site at all start at $590; a practice replacing something older sits higher. Either way it is paid after delivery, not before. Full pricing.

Questions
Straight answers.
How many notaries are there in Scarborough?
44 listings, of which 2 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 42 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 40. To be in the top quarter you need more than 121. To be visible next to the busiest notary here you would need 1,100, which took them years. 25 of the 44 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a notary 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.
