What actually breaks

No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 8 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 28 Etobicoke sites. The one that turns up most is no enquiry form anywhere on the site — 8 of them. Next is copyright line years out of date on 6, then page title does not name the city they work in on 2.

A site here that fixes no enquiry form anywhere on the site alone is already ahead of 8 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many storage facilities are there in Etobicoke?

29 listings, of which 9 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 20 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 Etobicoke?

To be average in Etobicoke you need 433. To be in the top quarter you need more than 711. To be visible next to the busiest storage facility here you would need 972, which took them years. 17 of the 29 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a storage facility in Etobicoke 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.
