40 Vancouver business websites analyzed — 30 home services, 10 healthcare — each through the same audit: homepage checks plus Google's mobile performance test, collected August 25, 2026. National chains were excluded. Vancouver is one of 327 US cities in the benchmark.
Google mobile performance scores of the Vancouver sites we tested. Under 50 is poor · 90+ is good · sites we build launch in the green band.
The fastest homepage in the Vancouver sample showed its main content in 2.0 seconds, the slowest took 34.8, and the middle half of the market sits between 5.1 and 11.0. The lightest homepage weighs 226 KB; the heaviest sends 12.9 MB to a phone.
The full range we measured in Vancouver, worst to best. The 50th column is the typical site; if your site beats the 90th, it beats nine out of ten local competitors:
| Percentile | 10th | 20th | 30th | 40th | 50th | 60th | 70th | 80th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile score | 48 | 54 | 56 | 59 | 65 | 68 | 71 | 74 | 81 |
| Main content shown (s) | 4.0 | 4.8 | 5.3 | 6.6 | 7.9 | 9.2 | 10.0 | 12.6 | 19.3 |
| Page weight (KB) | 613 | 1312 | 1502 | 1819 | 2052 | 2152 | 2380 | 3142 | 5998 |
Methodology: Routeless audited 40 business websites in Vancouver, WA (2026Q3 benchmark). Homepage signals (CMS, structured data, contact paths, analytics) were collected from each site's live homepage; performance figures are Google PageSpeed Insights mobile lab metrics for the 40 sites that completed a run. Businesses were sampled across industries from public listings and licensing registries; national chains were excluded. Sampled businesses include Abm Equipment Company, Adams Affordable Fencing, Anderson Glass Company, Anne Towler Counseling, Axiom Luxury Homes. Collected August 25, 2026. Results describe the 40 sampled businesses, not every business in Vancouver, and the benchmark is re-run, so these figures are a dated snapshot rather than a standing claim.
Enter your website address and we run the same Google mobile test and homepage checks we ran on the 40 Vancouver sites above, then place your site in the Vancouver market. Takes 20–40 seconds.

Same instrument as the benchmark: Google PageSpeed Insights (mobile) plus homepage signal checks, against the 40-site Vancouver sample collected August 25, 2026.
The typical Vancouver site shows its main content in 7.8 seconds on a phone, gives search engines and AI assistants little to read, and gives a ready buyer no clear next step. A well-built site wins here quickly.
With over 12,000 businesses in Clark County, local companies in industries like construction, health care, and retail face significant competition. Having a website is common, but getting found online can be challenging. Standing out in local search results and AI-generated answers is important for reaching potential customers. Ensuring that your business appears when people search for your services in Vancouver can make a difference.
These sections follow that industry mix, not a template: they are the sectors with the most establishments in Clark County, and what a website has to do differs by trade.

40.0% of the Vancouver sites we audited run on a DIY builder. We write real code: sites that load fast, that are structured so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can read and cite them, and that connect to your booking, CRM, and phone systems.
Strategy, messaging, custom design and development, performance and accessibility, booking and intake integration — measured against the Vancouver benchmark above before launch.
Customer portals, multi-location architectures, e-commerce and payments, dashboards — built on Next.js, Postgres, and AWS by the engineer who scoped them.
Structured data, technical SEO, a Google Business Profile review, and AI-readability foundations — the exact signals 30.0% of Vancouver sites are missing. See how we run AI visibility and local SEO.
Guided intake, instant alerts, CRM pipelines, call and form attribution — the full lead intake system. 62.5% of the Vancouver homepages we tested have no form at all; this is the layer that fixes it.
Every case study comes from a dated Search Console or Analytics record, ordered here by relevance to Vancouver's industry mix.
When someone asks ChatGPT, or Google's own AI results, who to hire in Vancouver, the answer draws on what those systems can read: fast pages, structured data, and consistent business information across the web. Structured data makes that information easier for search engines and AI systems to interpret and verify — and 30.0% of the 40 Vancouver sites we tested publish none. That is an opening: businesses in Vancouver whose sites are fast, structured, and consistent are easier for both Google and AI systems to surface than competitors whose sites are not.
We build for that standard and check the whole presence — your website, your Google Business Profile, and the listings AI assistants verify you against. We publish our research on how AI assistants recommend local businesses, one engineer owns your project from scope through launch, and fixed-scope builds start at $5,000 with the price in writing before work begins.
What your Vancouver customers are choosing between, what proof moves them, and what the site must do — written into a fixed scope with a fixed price.
Custom design, real code, integrations with your booking, CRM, and phone systems. The engineer who scoped the project builds it.
Performance, structured data, analytics, and conversion paths verified before launch — the same checks this page ran on 40 Vancouver sites.
Hosting, monitoring, security updates, and content changes handled by the team that built it. The first year of standard hosting is included.
Fixed-scope builds start at $5,000 and scale with page inventory, integrations, and custom functionality. Every Vancouver project gets a written scope and a fixed price before work begins — no hourly surprises.
We audited 40 to find out. 97.5% take more than 2.5 seconds to show their main content on mobile, 30.0% have no structured data for search engines or AI assistants to read, and 60.0% run no analytics, so their owners cannot see what the site produces. The full benchmark is published on this page.
No. Routeless is a remote engineering team that builds for businesses in Vancouver and across the US. The research is local: the benchmark on this page comes from 40 Vancouver business websites we audited, and the market figures are U.S. Census data for Vancouver and Clark County.
The Vancouver economy leads with construction, health care and social assistance, professional and technical services, and the industry sections on this page follow that mix. The build process is the same for any business. Clark County holds 12,552 business establishments in the latest County Business Patterns count.
The median mobile performance score across the Vancouver sites we tested is 64/100, and the median time for the main content to appear is 7.8 seconds. Google's threshold for 'good' is 2.5 seconds. Every site we build is measured against these numbers before launch.
Yes — that is most of the work. 40.0% of the Vancouver sites we audited run on a DIY builder and 50.0% on WordPress. We migrate content, keep every URL that has search value with proper redirects, and replace the template with a site built around what the business sells.
A complete new business website goes live in under two weeks from kickoff. Larger builds with portals, e-commerce, or custom integrations get their own written timeline with the fixed price, and the same engineer who scoped the project builds it.
They work from what they can read and verify: page content, structured data, and consistent business information across the web. Structured data makes that information easier for search engines and AI systems to interpret and verify, and 30.0% of the 40 Vancouver sites we audited publish none. We build sites with that structure in place and review your Google Business Profile and listings so your information matches everywhere it is checked.
