The State of Small Business Websites in Nanaimo: What We Found

In 2025, small businesses in Nanaimo are waking up to the fact that a website is no longer optional — but is your website actually working for you? At Rega Marketing, we analyzed dozens of local sites to understand the current state of website design in Nanaimo — and what we found might surprise you.

Whether you're a contractor, retailer, or service provider, this breakdown reveals what’s holding many Nanaimo websites back — and what top-performing businesses are doing differently.

Most Websites Are Online, But Underperforming

Over 80% of small businesses in Nanaimo have a website — but that’s where the good news stops.

Too many local websites:

  • Load slowly on mobile
  • Don’t show up on Google
  • Have outdated designs
  • Lack clear calls-to-action

In 2025, that’s the digital equivalent of a storefront with no sign, flickering lights, and no one at the counter.

What We Found: Top Issues with Nanaimo Websites

After reviewing local websites across industries, these were the most common problems:

1. Missing or Weak SEO

Many websites don’t even show up for basic searches like:

  • “plumber Nanaimo”
  • “Nanaimo locksmith”
  • “local dog groomer Nanaimo”

Without local SEO, your site might as well be invisible.

2. No Clear Purpose or Funnel

Lots of sites have no clear next step. Are visitors supposed to call? Fill out a form? Book online?

If you’re not guiding users, they won’t take action.

3. Outdated or Broken Pages

Some sites haven’t been updated in years. Broken links, low-res images, and awkward formatting are common — especially on mobile.

4. Lack of Integration

No contact form integrations. No online booking. No automation. Most sites are digital brochures, not business tools.

What Top-Performing Nanaimo Businesses Are Doing

We also looked at what the top 10% of websites in Nanaimo have in common. Here’s what they’re doing right:

  • Fast load times and mobile-optimized design
  • Strong branding and consistent visuals
  • Strategic SEO targeting Nanaimo + service keywords
  • Conversion-focused layout with clear CTAs
  • Built-in automations for follow-up and lead tracking
  • Active Google Business Profile integration

These sites don’t just exist — they generate leads.

The Real Opportunity in 2025

Most small businesses in Nanaimo are still behind when it comes to digital performance. That means huge upside for those willing to invest in better systems.

And no — you don’t need a massive budget.

At Rega Marketing, we build high-performing websites for Nanaimo businesses starting at a simple base rate + per page pricing. Our sites are built to rank, convert, and integrate — no fluff.

Final Thought

Your competitors are investing in systems that generate leads while they sleep. If your site isn’t doing that yet — you’re leaving money on the table.

Reviews & Case Studies

We’re not big on hype, just honest results. Here’s a look at what we’ve helped real clients achieve, and exactly how we did it.

Property Service Marketing Client Logo

Tyler Carruthers

Owner, Northwest Drainage Solutions

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I was already fairly busy when I reached out to Aidan, but I knew if I wanted to grow, I needed to get serious about how we looked and how we got leads. He helped us lock down a clean logo, a solid website, and ad campaigns that started working right away. We sold over $60K in the first month alone. It's not just about getting leads — it’s about looking legit and having the systems in place to handle them. Working with Rega has made a big difference."

Duradek Marketing Company

Brandon Lawson

Co-Owner, Siteline Deck AnD Rail

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We've been working with Aidan at Rega Marketing for over a year now. When we started, we had minimal branding and no real marketing plan. Aidan gave us a clear, transparent strategy — not everything all at once, but the most effective for our budget. As we grew, they helped us expand into new channels and build proper systems. Now in our second year, we’re on track to hit our first 7-figure year."

Eavestrough Marketing Agency

Tibor Okros

Owner, Forest City Eavestrough

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Before working with Aidan, we had no real ad strategy in place — just some referrals and seasonal demand. He came in, built out proper campaigns, and got us results fast. Leads started flowing almost immediately, and we’ve consistently doubled our monthly revenue since. What I like most is that it’s not just ads — it's the systems, the follow-up, and the way everything works together. Rega Marketing has been a key part of our growth."

Tree Service Website Builder

Margaret Bonneau

Co-Owner, High Line Tree Service

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Rega Marketing just completed a website for my son's business. They were  extremely knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and very patient. I couldn't be happy with the results!! I highly recommend Rega Marketing. Thank you from High Line Tree Service in Chilliwack"

Habitat MVI Website Builder

Trevor Coyle

CEO, Habitat For Humanity MVi

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Working with Aidan at Rega Marketing has been a great experience. He completely rebuilt our website to better reflect our mission and make it easier for people to navigate and get involved. He also connected it with our CRM, so all our form submissions now flow directly into it, which has saved us a lot of time."

Landscaping Website Builder

Bryan Ballard

Owner, Urban Oasis Landscaping

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I reached out to Rega Marketing with no real online presence. They helped me bring everything together, from a clean, professional logo to a website that actually reflects the quality of our work. The process was straightforward and easy to follow, and the end result turned out better than I expected."
