What actually breaks

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 21 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 54 Richmond Hill sites. The one that turns up most is page title does not name the city they work in — 21 of them. Next is no structured data for google to read on 18, then no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does on 17.

A site here that fixes page title does not name the city they work in alone is already ahead of 21 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many real estate agents are there in Richmond Hill?

60 listings, of which 1 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 59 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 Richmond Hill?

To be average in Richmond Hill you need 55. To be in the top quarter you need more than 106. To be visible next to the busiest real estate agent here you would need 351, which took them years. 41 of the 60 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a real estate agent in Richmond Hill 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.
