Web design for
painters in Scarborough.
There are 30 painting companies listed on Google Maps in Scarborough. 24 of them put a website on the listing, and we opened every one of those 24 ourselves. Here is what was behind them.
2 of the 24 Scarborough sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 22 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)
What they are built on
What Scarborough runs on.
Behind the 24 sites we counted 3 platforms. The split says something about budget: 33% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 2 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 7 of them.
Out of 24 sites in Scarborough, 7 have no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does and 6 have page title does not name the city they work in. We counted each fault separately, so a site with three of them appears in three rows below.
None of the 11 faults we counted in Scarborough requires a rebuild on its own. They add up to one, though, when a site carries four or five of them at once.

What this means for you
The Scarborough leaders
already fixed this.

Where a painter 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
The usual questions.
How many painters are there in Scarborough?
30 listings, of which 2 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 28 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 9. To be in the top quarter you need more than 29. To be visible next to the busiest painter here you would need 98, which took them years. 21 of the 30 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a painter 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.
