Web design for
HVAC contractors in Whitby.
This page is the Whitby slice of a survey of 36 HVAC companies — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 3 of the 35 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 36 listings were checked one at a time. 6 of the 35 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above.
What they are built on
66% of them run
the same platform.
We identified 3 different platforms behind the 35 sites in Whitby. WordPress accounts for 23 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
Page title does not name the city they work in
on 12 of them.
Sorted by how often it appears, the fault list for HVAC contractors in Whitby starts with page title does not name the city they work in (12 sites) and no structured data for google to read (11). 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 (10), which means fixing it puts you ahead of the 25 that already have it right only if the basics are done too.
Who you are up against

from the top five.

Questions
Before you ask.
How many HVAC contractors are there in Whitby?
36 listings, of which 6 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 30 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 Whitby?
To be average in Whitby you need 34. To be in the top quarter you need more than 165. To be visible next to the busiest HVAC contractor here you would need 3,180, which took them years. 22 of the 36 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a HVAC contractor in Whitby 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.
