Web design for
car dealerships in North York.
This page is the North York slice of a survey of 77 dealerships — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 0 of the 64 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 77 listings were checked one at a time. 7 of the 64 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above. (North York is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give North York as their address.)
What they are built on
What North York runs on.
We identified 4 different platforms behind the 64 sites in North York. WordPress accounts for 18 of them. 1 sit on a free or entry-level builder — a fair reading of how much the business has put into being found.
What actually breaks
No structured data for google to read
on 26 of them.
Sorted by how often it appears, the fault list for car dealerships in North York starts with no structured data for google to read (26 sites) and no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does (22). Both are cheap to fix and neither requires rebuilding anything.
We would start at the bottom of that list, not the top — no enquiry form anywhere on the site affects fewer sites here (22), which means fixing it puts you ahead of the 42 that already have it right only if the basics are done too.

Questions
Before you ask.
How many car dealerships are there in North York?
77 listings, of which 7 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 70 are either missing a site, running a broken one, or running one with at least one fault we could see from outside.
How many Google reviews do I need to compete in North York?
To be average in North York you need 186. To be in the top quarter you need more than 642. To be visible next to the busiest car dealership here you would need 3,261, which took them years. 7 of the 77 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a car dealership in North York 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.
