Local Business Reviews?
Quote from siripum on March 24, 2025, 10:26 amI’m always a little wary of random reviews on Google and Yelp — some feel totally fake. Is there a more community-based site for Eastern Ontario that has trustworthy info about local businesses? I’d love something that’s actually focused on locals supporting locals.

What I like about Local Business Directory is that it feels more grounded in the actual community. It’s a directory specifically for Eastern Ontario businesses, so you’re not wading through listings from all over the place. The businesses featured there are often more local-focused, and you’ll find small shops and services you wouldn’t see on Yelp or Google Maps. Some listings include personal touches and community info, which makes it feel more authentic. I’ve used it to find everything from local tradespeople to unique gift shops. If you want something that’s more reliable and local-first, it’s a solid alternative.
