We create Information Only Profiles from publicly available business information. Business owners can manage their information through their own account or request removal. Consumers can search by business name, location, phone number, services and Trust Factors. City and Town listings identify communities served, while Trade Areas include surrounding communities. Every business can access any trade area in Canada. A contractor can access other trade areas, but may need a municipal license for those areas. A company that markets to other trade areas to draw consumers to its business location needs a municipal license only for its trade area. There are city trade areas and provincial trade areas. The number of city or town trade areas depends on the subscription type and if the business purchases extra trade areas with Extended Visibility. The letters TA after a city or town name identify a trade area. For example, Saskatoon TA can include Saskatoon and the surrounding area. Some trade areas are marked as a Trade Area because of the population or location of the city or town. Explore listings across Canada.
