Toronto & the GTA
There are 779 photography studios listed on Google Maps across the GTA. We opened the 690 websites among them: 11 do not work on a phone, 51 do not load at all. This page is what we found, and what we do about it.
Websites from $590 · paid after delivery
We build and look after websites for photographers across the GTA. The price follows the size of the business: $590 for a solo operator, $1,190 for a team of three to ten, $2,400 for a larger or multi-location business, $3,900 for a legal, medical or financial practice.
No deposit and no contract: you pay once the site is built and you have seen it, and the monthly part ($129–$990 for hosting, edits, your Google listing and search work) can be cancelled any month.
Review counts are not comparable between trades — 40 is the middle for photographers, which is a very different number from what a dentist or a barber would see. The upper quarter of this field is past 98 reviews and the busiest photographer we found holds 6,387.
City by city
The field looks different depending on where you work. Each city below has its own survey — how many photographers are there, how many have no mobile site, and what it takes in reviews to be visible.
| Photographers in | Businesses | No site | No mobile | Median reviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mississauga | 60 | 2 | 0 | 52 |
| North York | 59 | 3 | 3 | 57 |
| Etobicoke | 56 | 9 | 2 | 22 |
| Brampton | 52 | 3 | 0 | 84 |
| Scarborough | 52 | 9 | 0 | 43 |
| Toronto | 51 | 0 | 0 | 128 |
What they are built on
Detected from the 690 photography studios websites we opened. 26 are on a free or entry-level builder, 1 on software discontinued years ago, and 59 still date themselves 1996 or earlier in the footer.
What actually breaks
Counted separately across all 690 sites in this field, so a site with four faults appears in four rows.
Built for this trade
One page cannot rank for everything a photographer does. Each service gets its own page, written for the words people actually type — which for this field is rarely the words the trade uses internally.
Reviews, photographs and the details that make someone pick you over the listing above yours. 2% of photographers with a website still have no mobile version — that alone is an opening.
Forms, booking, click-to-call. 315 sites in this field have no enquiry form at all.

Questions
No. We work with local businesses across the GTA and keep a separate page per trade because what a photographer needs from a website is genuinely different from what a retailer needs. We surveyed 779 photography studios to write this one.
63 of the 779 we checked have none attached to their Google listing, and 51 more link to a site that does not load. Of the 690 working sites, 11 have no mobile version.
The median across the GTA in this field is 40; the upper quarter is past 98 and the busiest single photographer we found holds 6,387. Those numbers mean nothing outside this trade — a count that is exceptional for a photographer is unremarkable for a restaurant.
Between $590 and $3,900 for the site depending on size, paid after it is built and you have seen it. Then $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO. Cancel any month.
Check yours
We do not guess and we do not send a report by email. Type the address, wait ten seconds, read what comes back. If your site is fine it will say so.
We build the site, you look at it, and you pay once it is finished and you are happy with it. Hosting, edits and the Google listing carry on monthly, cancellable any month.
