What they are built on

What Scarborough runs on.

What actually breaks

Copyright line years out of date
on 14 of them.

Out of 50 sites in Scarborough, 14 have copyright line years out of date and 9 have page title does not name the city they work in. We counted each fault separately, so a site with three of them appears in three rows below.

None of the 13 faults we counted in Scarborough requires a rebuild on its own. They add up to one, though, when a site carries four or five of them at once.

What this means for you

The Scarborough leaders
already fixed this.

5 of the five most-reviewed plumbers in Scarborough run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 1,561 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.

Where a plumber lands depends on how many services need a page of their own — $590 at the small end, $3,900 for a practice with a dozen. Nothing is due until it is finished. Full pricing.

Questions

What people ask us.

How many plumbers are there in Scarborough?

53 listings, of which 4 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 49 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 Scarborough?

To be average in Scarborough you need 41. To be in the top quarter you need more than 92. To be visible next to the busiest plumber here you would need 494, which took them years. 40 of the 53 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a plumber in Scarborough 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.

Before you decide anything

Find out whether
you have a problem.

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.
