We promote use of the directory across Canada. It’s available 24 / 7 to people who look for products and services. Your company can list across Canada or focus on a selected province(s). The directory appeals to users who want to search across the country for a very specialized product. And it works for people who might want to find a service based close to home. People on our growing list of users are sent regular reminders that the directory is a comprehensive and convenient source of important information..

You should make a separate entry for each office. People who use the directory may give first preference to a local company. If you have a local office you will be more likely to secure the business.

You can include them under each category that is appropriate. Not all buyers will think of the same product under the same category, so sometimes more than one category is suitable for a given product or service.

The water industry is growing more complex. Our extensive category list makes it easier to put a product or service in the right place, and easier for buyers to find.

Send us an email describing your product or service and suggest a suitable category. We will be pleased to respond.
