Question 1

How do I add my business?

Accepted Answer

There is a button at the bottom of every city's main page that says "Submit a Business", you can use the form that pops up for ya there!

Question 2

What are the guidelines for submission?

Accepted Answer

Here is what you reaaallly gotta do or else your submission won't be added:
The link must start with "https://"
The photo submitted CAN NOT: include more than a tiny bit of text, be a collage of photos, be just the company's logo, be from Google Maps, and lastly - this is most important - it can't be pixelated.
I recommend making the image at least 1080px wide.

If any of these guidelines aren't followed, unfortunately your listing won't appear on the site and you will have to resubmit.

Question 3

How long will it take my submitted business to appear?

Accepted Answer

Ooh, this one is a toughie. 
 
Currently the site is *not* being actively updated on a regular basis, so it could be a long while! If you want to send me a note though, sometimes I can just manually pop one in :)

Question 4

How to I add my city?

Accepted Answer

I am not currently accepting new individual cities at the moment - with just me at the helm it just proved to be too much work. 
 
SORRRYYYY.

Question 5

What if I don't see my city?

Accepted Answer

All of these cities were inputted with the help of some very cool volunteers in 2020 and I haven't really added any since.

To add a new city it takes about 50 hours of work which I simply don't have the juice for now, *but*, there's over 5000 small businesses still on the directory, most of which ship Canada-wide!

Question 6

What if I want to say something really mean to you in an email or offer unsolicited advice that also comes across as pretty mean?

Accepted Answer

I would ask that you don't? Lolling.

Again, I am just one person who is doing this in my free time on top of a full-time job, for no money whatsoever. The site will never function like a multi-billion dollar corporation's :)
