75 sites in Georgetown carry a copyright line five years old or more, which usually means nobody has opened the admin panel since launch. The monthly fee exists so that does not happen to yours.

Questions
The usual questions.
Do you work with businesses in Georgetown?
Yes. We work across the entire Greater Toronto Area, including Georgetown, where we surveyed 823 listings. Everything is done remotely — calls, email and a live preview link you can open while we build — so there is no need to meet in person unless you want to.
How many businesses in Georgetown have no website?
140 of the 823 listings we checked have no website attached to their Google profile at all, and another 38 link to one that does not load or has been parked. On top of that, 171 have a site that works but has visibly not been touched in years.
How much does a website cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the business and how many pages it needs. You pay once it is built and you have seen it, not before. After launch it is $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO, cancellable any month.
How long does SEO take?
The Google map pack can move within weeks. Ranking in regular search results for competitive terms realistically takes three to six months of consistent work. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.

Where does your
own site land?
Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
Think yours needs
rebuilding?
Send us the address and what you do. We will look at what is there and tell you whether a rebuild is worth the money, or whether the problem is somewhere else entirely.
