4 of the 59 Markham sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 55 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one.

What they are built on

6 of them are on
a free builder.

Behind the 59 sites we counted 5 platforms. The split says something about budget: 49% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 6 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.

What actually breaks

No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 25 of them.

25 of the 59 law firms we opened in Markham share the same fault: no enquiry form anywhere on the site. 25 have a second one on top of it — no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.

If you own one of these 59 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 25 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.

Who you are up against

112 reviews

Markham holds 62 of the 1,383 law firms we found across the GTA, which ranks it 6th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside law firms.

What this means for you

The Markham leaders
already fixed this.

4 of the five most-reviewed law firms in Markham run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 913 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.

Where a law firm 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 law firms are there in Markham?

62 listings, of which 4 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 58 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 Markham?

To be average in Markham you need 34. To be in the top quarter you need more than 87. To be visible next to the busiest law firm here you would need 236, which took them years. 35 of the 62 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.

What does a website for a law firm in Markham 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.
