How Brampton electricians' websites perform on a phone

We opened 23 independent Brampton electrician homepages on a phone. Most made it hard to call, ask for a quote, or see emergency service.

Main findings

  1. 01

    12 of 23 (52%) had no usable call button on the first screen.

  2. 02

    16 of 23 (70%) had no usable quote or booking button on the first screen.

  3. 03

    10 of 23 (43%) had neither a usable call button nor a usable quote button on the first screen.

  4. 04

    18 of 23 (78%) don't say "24/7", "emergency" or "same-day" on the first screen.

  5. 05

    17 of 23 (74%) leave out the address or the hours.

How we did it

23businesses checked

Independent electrical contractors based in Brampton, Ontario, that do work for homeowners. We found them through web search and public directories. When we opened the sites on a phone (a 390 x 664 screen), we recorded what a customer sees on the homepage before scrolling. We don't name any company.

What we checked

  • Is there a tap-to-call phone link, and does it work?
  • Is there a quote or booking button, and where does it lead?
  • Does the first screen say 24/7, emergency or same-day?
  • Are the street address and opening hours on the page?
  • Does the page show or link to Google reviews?
  • How heavy is the homepage to download on a phone?
  • Does the page title mention Brampton?

Data collected October 23, 2026. Study by AstraCoreTech. When we opened the sites on a phone, we recorded the first screen. Every number comes from the raw results. One screen size, one browser, one visit per site. Homepages only. Other pages or a Google Business Profile may have the missing details. We did not call any numbers or submit any forms. Page weight is the first load before scrolling. Load times varied between runs, so we don't report speed. Some companies serve the wider GTA, so leaving the city out of a title may be a choice. The sample comes from search and directories, so it is not random. Six commercial or industrial contractors were opened and then replaced, since this study covers contractors homeowners hire. 45 other candidates were left out: franchises, companies based outside Brampton, and sites that were parked, expired or would not load. Seven of those would not open over HTTPS and our test setup could not open plain HTTP, so they may work for a real visitor.

The findings

Call button on the first screen

12 of 23 (52%) had no usable call button on the first screen. Ten had no tap-to-call link before scrolling. On one, a pop-up covered it. On another, the number in the header dials a broken number. Five homepages have no tap-to-call link anywhere.
