Toronto & the GTA
There are 436 metal fabrication shops listed on Google Maps across the GTA. We opened the 333 websites among them: 76 do not work on a phone, 46 do not load at all. This page is what we found, and what we do about it.
Review counts are not comparable between trades — 5 is the middle for metal fabricators, which is a very different number from what a dentist or a barber would see. The upper quarter of this field is past 12 reviews and the busiest metal fabricator we found holds 450.
What they are built on
Detected from the 333 metal fabrication shops websites we opened. 22 are on a free or entry-level builder, 2 on software discontinued years ago, and 43 still date themselves 1999 or earlier in the footer.
What actually breaks
Counted separately across all 333 sites in this field, so a site with four faults appears in four rows.
Built for this trade
One page cannot rank for everything a metal fabricator does. Each service gets its own page, written for the words people actually type — which for this field is rarely the words the trade uses internally.
Reviews, photographs and the details that make someone pick you over the listing above yours. 23% of metal fabricators with a website still have no mobile version — that alone is an opening.
Forms, booking, click-to-call. 146 sites in this field have no enquiry form at all.
Questions
No. We work with local businesses across the GTA and keep a separate page per trade because what a metal fabricator needs from a website is genuinely different from what a retailer needs. We surveyed 436 metal fabrication shops to write this one.
96 of the 436 we checked have none attached to their Google listing, and 46 more link to a site that does not load. Of the 333 working sites, 76 have no mobile version.
The median across the GTA in this field is 5; the upper quarter is past 12 and the busiest single metal fabricator we found holds 450. Those numbers mean nothing outside this trade — a count that is exceptional for a metal fabricator is unremarkable for a restaurant.

Before you decide anything
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.
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.
