When a shop is worth building

When there is a real catalogue and real demand. If you sell three things to people who already know you, a payment link and a good page will out-earn a shop — and we will say so.

What we build on

Shopify where inventory, variants and payments need handling for you; something lighter where they do not, because it loads faster and costs less to run. 19 businesses in Toronto already run Shopify.

Product pages are where shops are won

A clear photograph, an actual description, the delivery answer above the fold, and the structured data that puts price and availability into Google results.

Trade by trade

Dentists lead
the list in Toronto.

Broken out by trade, because the Toronto average hides a lot. The gap between dentists at 203 and therapists at 54 is most of the story.

Questions

What people ask us.

How many Toronto retailers sell online?

Of the 122 retail and showroom businesses we surveyed in Toronto, 19 run Shopify and 5 have no website at all. Most of the rest have a brochure site rather than a shop.

Can you move an existing shop?

Yes, including the product data and the URLs, which is the part that protects the rankings you already have.

Where does your
own site land?

Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
