What actually breaks

No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 22 of them.

We recorded every fault we could see on the 51 North York sites. The one that turns up most is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does — 22 of them. Next is page title does not name the city they work in on 17, then no structured data for google to read on 12.

A site here that fixes no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does alone is already ahead of 22 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.

Who you are up against

from the top five.

A furniture store in North York with 82 reviews is exactly average here. 11 of the 56 hold 4.9 or better, so a high rating is table stakes in this market — the five at the top are separated by volume: 6,566, 3,116, 2,893, 755, 689.

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.
