renovation contractors in Whitby.
There are 30 renovation companies listed on Google Maps in Whitby. 23 of them put a website on the listing, and we opened every one of those 23 ourselves. Here is what was behind them.
2 of the 23 Whitby sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 21 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one.
What they are built on
What Whitby runs on.
Behind the 23 sites we counted 4 platforms. The split says something about budget: 22% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 2 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 10 of them.
10 of the 23 renovation companies we opened in Whitby share the same fault: no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. 10 have a second one on top of it — no enquiry form anywhere on the site. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.
If you own one of these 23 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 10 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.
Who you are up against
29 reviews
from the top five.
The spread in Whitby is wide: from under 4 reviews in the bottom quarter to 92 at the top, with the middle at 18. 0 of the 30 renovation contractors have passed a hundred.
Whitby holds 30 of the 703 renovation companies we found across the GTA, which ranks it 12th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside renovation contractors.
What this means for you
3 sites in Whitby
do not load at all.
We requested every one: 3 renovation companies in Whitby have a website on their Google listing that is dead or parked, and 3 more load but visibly have not been touched in years. Google still sends people to all of them.
Where a renovation contractor 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
The usual questions.
How many renovation contractors are there in Whitby?
30 listings, of which 2 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 28 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 18. To be in the top quarter you need more than 33. To be visible next to the busiest renovation contractor here you would need 92, which took them years. 20 of the 30 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a renovation 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.
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.
