What actually breaks

Page title does not name the city they work in
on 26 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 53 Burlington sites. The one that turns up most is page title does not name the city they work in — 26 of them. Next is no enquiry form anywhere on the site on 22, then no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does on 16.

A site here that fixes page title does not name the city they work in alone is already ahead of 26 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Questions

Before you ask.

How many law firms are there in Burlington?

59 listings, of which 6 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 53 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 Burlington?

To be average in Burlington you need 23. To be in the top quarter you need more than 50. To be visible next to the busiest law firm here you would need 183, which took them years. 25 of the 59 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a law firm in Burlington 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.
