A site built for how
Maple actually searches.
Local search
Your Google listing, set up properly
Categories, service areas, hours, photos and the structured data that puts your address and rating straight into results. 54 Maple listings do not even publish opening hours. The median business here has 56 reviews — we will tell you honestly where you stand.

Someone still looking after it
19 sites in Maple carry a copyright line five years old or more, which usually means nobody has opened the admin panel since launch. The monthly fee exists so that does not happen to yours.
Questions
What people ask us.
Do you work with businesses in Maple?
Yes. We work across the entire Greater Toronto Area, including Maple, where we surveyed 264 listings. Everything is done remotely — calls, email and a live preview link you can open while we build — so there is no need to meet in person unless you want to.
How many businesses in Maple have no website?
23 of the 264 listings we checked have no website attached to their Google profile at all, and another 36 link to one that does not load, is blank or has been parked. On top of that, 39 have a site that works but has visibly not been touched in years.
How much does a website cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the business and how many pages it needs. You pay once it is built and you have seen it, not before. After launch it is $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO, cancellable any month.
How long does SEO take?
The Google map pack can move within weeks. Ranking in regular search results for competitive terms realistically takes three to six months of consistent work. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.

Where does your site stand?

If you want
one built.
We build the site, you look at it, and you pay once it is finished and you are happy with it. Hosting, edits and the Google listing carry on monthly, cancellable any month.
