How We Review

Each business considered for placement goes through a structured review process before it appears in the directory. Because space is limited to twelve listings per category, every profile is evaluated carefully to maintain a consistent standard across the platform.

The first step is visibility. We look at how easily a business can be found across search platforms, maps, and modern AI-driven discovery tools. Companies that appear consistently in search results, are mentioned across reputable sites, and have a clear digital footprint are more likely to qualify. This helps confirm that the business is active, established, and already recognized by the public.

Next, we review customer feedback. This includes ratings, written reviews, and general sentiment across multiple platforms. Consistency matters more than volume alone. We look for patterns in what clients say about their interactions, service quality, and reliability over time rather than relying on a small number of recent comments.

Local recognition is also important. When evaluating a business, we consider whether people in Brampton are familiar with the name and whether it comes up naturally when discussing that category. In some cases, we gather informal feedback from local users or clients to confirm that the business has a genuine presence in the community.

We also check for accuracy and transparency. Business information must be current, contact details must work, and services listed should match what the company actually provides. Profiles that appear misleading, inactive, or inconsistent with public information are not approved.

Paid placement applies only after a business meets these review requirements. Payment does not override the selection process. If a business no longer maintains the same level of visibility, reputation, or activity, its position in the directory may be reviewed again before renewal.

This approach keeps the directory focused, credible, and useful for people searching for reliable options across Brampton.
