Those 37 listings were checked one at a time. 2 of the 36 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

a free builder.

What actually breaks

No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 12 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 36 Scarborough sites. The one that turns up most is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does — 12 of them. Next is no enquiry form anywhere on the site on 12, then no structured data for google to read on 11.

A site here that fixes no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does alone is already ahead of 12 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Who you are up against

What this means for you

69% of Scarborough sites
are technically fine.

Therapy practices in Scarborough are in better shape than most trades we surveyed — 69% of the 36 sites are secure and work on a phone. Across the GTA the same field sits at 0% with no mobile version; Scarborough is at 0%, near enough the same. Standing out in a market like this takes more than being technically correct: it takes saying something the other 35 sites do not.

The 1 therapy practices 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

Before you ask.

How many therapists are there in Scarborough?

37 listings, of which 2 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 35 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 6. To be in the top quarter you need more than 14. To be visible next to the busiest therapist here you would need 113, which took them years. 26 of the 37 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a therapist 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.

Before you decide anything

Find out whether
you have a problem.

Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
