Why
do I have to wait until my listing is approved before I can see
it in the directory?
All listing submissions are manually checked prior to appearing
in our Directory, this is to prevent inappropriate entries finding
their way into the Directory and abuse of our Terms of Use.

email registered users with Free listings to ensure that they
are still valid.

What
is a Free Listing?

description, list your business in up to 3 categories, add your
address and a telephone number completely free of charge.
top
I
have added my Free Listing, why has part of my description disappeared?
Due to database scripting limitations we have to set an overall
maximum character limitation. This means that the character counter
has to be set to the maximum for our Professional listings and
can not be set individually for each listing. The number of characters
allocated to Free listings is 125.
top
How
do I upgrade my Listing?
Before you can upgrade to a paid listing you need to have added
a Free listing to the Directory. Once your listing is present
and approved you can upgrade your listings from
here.
top
Can
I add links to my site or email in a Free Listing?
We do not allow any website links, email links or text addresses
to be displayed in Free listings, if any are found or reported
you will be given 24 hours to remove them after which, if they
are still present your listing will be removed from the directory.
Our paid listings provide these additional features and are extremely
reasonably priced, including any unauthorised links in your Free
listing is considered to be abuse of our Terms of Use and of our
goodwill.
top
If
I see a Free Listing with web or email links what should I do?
If you find a Free Listing in our directory which contains either
a website address or an email link, please report it to
info@smallbizpages.ca and we will contact the listing
owner.

I
have lost my login/password how can I find it again?
We do not keep records of your Login or Password, if you lose
your login or password you will need to follow this simple procedure
- First find your listing in the Directory
- click on your entry
- at the top of the page you will see the category you are listed
in, followed by your entry name and in brackets after your name
an ID number
- Make a note of the ID number
- Click on User Login in the menu to the right of the page
- Under the login form you will see Password Reminder click
on this
- Enter your ID number when asked to do so
Your Login and Password will be sent to the email you registered
with, so it is a good idea to keep this up to date or you will
not be able to re-access your details.

many categories can I be listed in?

Listing has been rejected - why?
You may have entered a website or email link or text in your
description or company name, or your email address may have been
rejected by the system as invalid. Please remember that only paid
listings can contain website links and all paid listings include
a spam protected email facility. Your business might not be a
canadian business.

person or company about the businesses or therapists listed in
our directory.
top
Why
doesn't my website link work?
Your website link needs to be in the following format to work
correctly - http://www.yoursite.com if you enter a link without
the http:// it simply will not connect to your website.
top
How
do I use the Search Facility?
To find a Business Type enter the type of business you
are searching for,
e.g. If you enter farm food into the box and click on the
Search button the search engine will find listings such as farm
shops, farmers markets etc., if you already know the name of the
business you are looking for simple enter this into the search
box instead e.g. Oakdene Farm will find the listing for
only that business.
The
Product search box will search for products which have
been uploaded to the Business and Professional listings which
have this additional facility.
The
Image search box looks for Gallery images in the Professional
listings.
top
Can
you add a new category for me?
No I am sorry we can not add categories by request, if we were
to attempt this the directory would become unusable very quickly,
and those searching the listings would be deterred from using
our facilities. We have tried to include a broad range of categories,
which we hope will suit most people.

I
am trying to submit a listing but do not have a login or password
You create you user login and password yourself when you submit
a listing, please keep these details safe as you will need them
when you wish to make changes to your listing, the database automatically
encrypts your login details for your security and we can not therefore
retrieve them for you.

have a paid listing and are experiencing difficulties which you
cannot resolve using the Frequently Asked Questions section please
