Toronto & the GTA

Websites for
therapists.

There are 882 therapy practices listed on Google Maps across the GTA. We opened the 855 websites among them: 122 do not work on a phone, 114 do not load at all. This page is what we found, and what we do about it.

Review counts are not comparable between trades — 6 is the middle for therapists, which is a very different number from what a dentist or a barber would see. The upper quarter of this field is past 17 reviews and the busiest therapist we found holds 258.

Built for this trade

What therapists
actually need.

Pages that rank

A page per service, not one long list

One page cannot rank for everything a therapist 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.

Proof

Your work, shown properly

Reviews, photographs and the details that make someone pick you over the listing above yours. 14% of therapists with a website still have no mobile version — that alone is an opening.

Enquiries

A way to reach you that is not a phone call

Forms, booking, click-to-call. 408 sites in this field have no enquiry form at all.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you only work with therapists?

No. We work with local businesses across the GTA and keep a separate page per trade because what a therapist needs from a website is genuinely different from what a retailer needs. We surveyed 882 therapy practices to write this one.

How many therapists in the GTA have no website?

17 of the 882 we checked have none attached to their Google listing, and 114 more link to a site that does not load. Of the 855 working sites, 122 have no mobile version.

How many Google reviews does a therapist need?

The median across the GTA in this field is 6; the upper quarter is past 17 and the busiest single therapist we found holds 258. Those numbers mean nothing outside this trade — a count that is exceptional for a therapist is unremarkable for a restaurant.

What does it cost?

Between $590 and $3,900 for the site depending on size, paid after it is built and you have seen it. Then $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO. Cancel any month.
