0 of the 43 Scarborough sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 43 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

6 platforms,
no clear winner.

Behind the 43 sites we counted 6 platforms. The split says something about budget: 42% 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

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 27 of them.

Out of 43 sites in Scarborough, 27 have page title does not name the city they work in and 22 have no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. We counted each fault separately, so a site with three of them appears in three rows below.

None of the 15 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.

5 of the five most-reviewed travel agencies in Scarborough run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 2,791 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.

Where a travel agency 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

What people ask us.

How many travel agencies are there in Scarborough?

How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Scarborough?

To be average in Scarborough you need 29. To be in the top quarter you need more than 82. To be visible next to the busiest travel agency here you would need 999, which took them years. 15 of the 55 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a travel agency 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.

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.
