Frequently Asked Questions
How Reviews For You works for shoppers and for local businesses.
For shoppers
How do you choose the Top 5?
Free rankings are our editorial opinion based on public review ratings and volume, years in business, credentials and awards, pricing transparency and local service area. Rank 1 is our top recommendation.
What does the maple leaf badge mean?
It marks businesses that are Canadian-owned, including family and locally owned shops, based on what the business says publicly and what our team checks. Own a Canadian business we have not flagged? Let us know.
What does "Sponsored" mean?
Some positions may be sponsored by the business. Sponsored positions are labelled "Sponsored" on the page. Sponsorship never changes the description, pros or cons we publish.
Which cities do you cover?
Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane and Chestermere, Alberta. Each industry has its own Top 5 for each city.
A business on your list gave me a bad experience. What should I do?
Please tell us through the support form. We review feedback when we update rankings.
For businesses
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. Submit your business with a short brief, pros and cons. Our team verifies every submission before it goes live and emails you a copy of what you sent.
How long does verification take?
Usually 2 to 3 business days. We check that the business is real, active and serves the city you selected, and we may edit the text for accuracy and length.
Do businesses have an account?
Yes. Businesses with a sponsored spot can log in to their account to see their spot, renewal date and billing, update their card, and turn automatic renewal on or off.
What happens when my year ends?
Sponsored spots renew automatically each year so you keep your position. We email you 30 days and 7 days before the renewal date, and you can turn off automatic renewal anytime from your account. If a renewal payment fails, you have 14 days to update your card before the position is released.
Can I update my listing?
Yes. Send changes through the support form and we will verify and update them.
How do I stop promotional emails?
Every promotional email has an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing does not remove your free listing.
Still have a question?
Our team usually replies within one business day. Business account holders get priority support.
