We review every listing before it goes live. These guidelines cover what we look for, so yours gets approved the first time.
Who can list
Canadian businesses of any size, from solo freelancers to established companies, can add a listing. We also accept international brands that serve Canadian customers.
What we don’t accept
- Adult content
- Illegal content, including sites with pirated material, fraud, violence or hate speech
- Websites that are still under construction
- Mirror sites, or the same site under a different domain name
- Subdomains (submit your main domain instead)
- Sites packed with pop-ups
- Spam, keyword-stuffed descriptions and listings for businesses we can’t confirm are real
How to submit your business
- Click Add your business in the menu, or go straight to the submission form.
- Fill in your business name, description, category, province, city and business email. Your phone number, street address, website and logo are optional, but they make your listing more useful.
- Confirm your email address.
- Choose Free or Pro from your private dashboard.
- We review your listing. Once it’s approved, it goes live.
Write a description that gets approved
Your description is the first thing we read, and the first thing customers see.
- Write it fresh for this listing. Don’t paste it from your homepage or another directory.
- Say what you do, who you serve and where you work. Someone who’s never heard of you should understand your business after one read.
- Write at least 65 words. A couple of vague lines won’t tell customers enough to pick you.
- Write for customers, not search engines. Lists of keywords get declined.
Pick the category that fits best. If none do, choose Other / General Business and we’ll sort it out during review. If you serve customers across Canada, choose the province where you’re based.
Keep your listing accurate
Use a business email you check regularly. You’ll need it to confirm your listing.
Once your listing is live, sign in to your dashboard any time to update your phone number, description or website. If your business is already in the directory but you didn’t add it, open the listing and click Claim this listing. We’ll verify your connection to the business before giving you access.
We may decline a submission, or remove a published listing, if it breaks these guidelines.
