What Featured gets you

One spot per page. Your town, your trade, pinned above everyone else.

Four things a Featured listing gets, all included in CA$397 per year.

Real examples: See a Featured listing →Read a Spotlight article →

01The top spot

  • Pinned to the top of your town and trade page (for example, Brockville Snow Removal), your town page and on-site search. No one else in your trade gets it in your town.
  • First in line every season. You're in our seasonal guides for your trade, and you hear first when locals post a matching job on a request board like the Fall Closing List.

02Done for you

  • Your listing and a Spotlight article, written for you. We add your photos and offers; you just check it over.

03A listing that shows you off

  • Large cover photo and up to 12 photos
  • Your video, from YouTube or Vimeo
  • Your Google reviews and a map of your address
  • Social links, plus up to three extra links (booking, menu, coupons)
  • A team section with names, roles and photos

04Your voice, locally owned

  • Your own posts: news and offers, job openings and your events, right on your listing. Your events are pinned to the top of the events page.
  • Locally Owned & Operated badge. On your listing, plus a badge for your own website. Coming this winter

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

Is it really free to list?

Free to list, no catch. Every local business gets a free listing, and a Verified badge when you claim it.

How do I get the Verified badge?

Claim your listing to get the Verified badge, so locals know you're the real deal.

Who can list?

Independent local businesses only, no chains. Built for this region.

How much is Featured?

CA$397 per year, in Canadian dollars. Bonuses included when you join: an online visibility report (CA$140 value), a Google Business Profile tune-up (CA$400 value) and an AI search check.

What is the AI search check?

When you join, we ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI who they recommend for your trade in your town, then send you what they said and a short list of things to fix. It's a check-up, not a promise: nobody can guarantee an AI tool will mention a business.

How many Featured spots are there?

Only one Featured spot per trade in each town. Once it's taken, it's gone until that business leaves. Ask Sarah which spots are open in your town →

Do I have to write my listing myself?

No. Your listing and a Spotlight article, written for you. We add your photos and offers; you just check it over.
