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. Trade areas include cities and towns. The number of city or town trade areas depends on the subscription type and whether 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 cities and towns just outside major centres are designated as separate Trade Areas because of their population, location, or because they serve a local population area.

Business details
Much of Renfrew's current prosperity comes from being the commercial centre for over 30,000 residents of the surrounding small towns and rural region, with over 450 small service or commercial businesses in the 2001 municipal census. In addition, Renfrew is an easy rest or activity stop for Ottawa-based cottagers and outdoor enthusiasts passing by on their way to nearby whitewater rafting, boating, camping, hunting, golfing, fishing, snowmobiling, down-hill skiing, and cross-country skiing. However, the area's largest single employers are the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Bonnechere Manor, and additional retirement facilities have opened since the census. In addition to numerous small employers, there are also several moderate sized manufacturing facilities employing several hundred people; Scapa Tapes Renfrew, formerly Renfrew Tape makes products such as hockey tape that is used across North America and the duct tape brand featured on the discontinued Red Green Show.
Times Fibre Canada and Madawaska Hardwood Flooring have manufacturing facilities in town, and recently Teletech opened a large North America-wide call centre in the former Renfrew mall. Renfrew is also home to many successful small businesses. Between 2000 and 2005, a major portion of Refrew's retail business, and the associated customer services jobs, shifted from the west-end Renfrew mall to the east-end formally-industrial park due to the opening of several major big-box and smaller retail stores just off Highway 17.
