About Alberta’s Best

Built to support local businesses.

Have you ever noticed how often big national brands dominate search results, ads, and directories — even when you’re trying to support a local business?

We did too.

You shouldn’t have to spend hours looking for a local business.
We help Alberta’s discover businesses that strengthen your economy close to home.

Why Alberta’s Best

Alberta is built on small and independent businesses. Family-run shops. Tradespeople. Service providers. Teams who live where they work and support the same communities as their customers.

But online, local businesses are often competing for attention in systems designed for scale — not community. The result is that visibility tends to concentrate around the biggest players, not always the best or most relevant ones.

That didn’t sit right with us.

So we set out to build something simple, fair, and local.

Designed for Community

Alberta’s Best is intentionally focused on Alberta communities first.

Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, we organize listings by city and category, helping people quickly find businesses that actually serve their area.

Every local business can claim a free listing, because being discoverable online shouldn’t be a paywall. From there, businesses can choose how visible they want to be — based on what makes sense for them, not what the market will bear.

We believe visibility should be:

• Relevant to the customer
• Fair to the business
• Shared, not monopolized

That philosophy shows up in everything we do.

Supporting Local, at Every Stage

Some businesses want a simple presence. Others want a little more visibility to grow.

That’s why Alberta’s Best offers:

• Free Basic listings for all local businesses
• Optional Featured listings that provide increased visibility through fair, rotating placement

Featured listings help support the platform and allow us to keep basic listings accessible to everyone — while staying aligned with our core goal: helping local businesses get found.

No matter the listing level, the focus stays the same:
local relevance, shared opportunity, and a better experience for customers.

Alberta’s Best Directory is for:

• People who want to support local businesses in their city
• Business owners who want to be visible without feeling crowded out
• Communities that value connection over scale

If you believe local businesses matter — you’re in the right place.

Built in Alberta, for Alberta.

Alberta’s Best Directory is shaped by the communities it serves. As the directory grows, it grows city by city, category by category — the same way real communities do.

You shouldn’t have to worry about competing with national brands.
We help local businesses get discovered where it matters most – their own communities.
Add your business to Alberta’s Best, where local comes first.

A Note from the Founder

Alberta’s Best started as a simple idea: make it easy for Albertans to find and support the local businesses that keep their own communities vibrant and strong.

This directory is being built from the ground up, shaped by local businesses and guided by fairness and local values.

As it grows, those principles won’t change.

Together, we can keep Alberta’s communities thriving, one local business at a time.
