Built by a business owner, for Calgarians.
Calgary Business Reviews was created by a local business owner with a simple idea: Calgarians deserve a straightforward, trustworthy place to discover great local businesses.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help Calgarians discover trusted local businesses and make informed choices, while giving great Calgary businesses the recognition they deserve.
How We Evaluate Businesses
Our selections are based on a straightforward, three-part process focused on publicly available information and local research.
Community Reputation
We consider publicly available customer ratings, review patterns, and feedback across established review platforms.
Local Research
We research Calgary businesses using factors such as services offered, local experience, reputation, website information, and publicly available business information.
Ongoing Updates
Our listings are periodically reviewed and updated as business information, customer feedback and local conditions change.
Our editorial selections are made independently. Sponsored businesses are clearly identified and paid placement does not guarantee a higher editorial ranking.
Our Selection Criteria
Businesses considered for inclusion on Calgary Business Reviews are evaluated using the following standards:
Proudly Calgary-Focused
The business must be physically located in or primarily serve the Calgary area. We do not list national chains without a meaningful local presence.
Licensing & Credentials
Where applicable, we consider publicly available licensing, certification and business information as part of our research.
Minimum Review Threshold
Businesses should have sufficient publicly available customer feedback or an established local track record to allow for a meaningful evaluation.
Reputation & Business History
Publicly available complaint history, customer feedback and other relevant business information may be considered when evaluating a business.
Consistent Quality
We look for evidence of consistent customer satisfaction and service quality over time rather than relying on a single review or short-term result.
Editorial Independence
Paid listings do not guarantee a higher editorial ranking or recommendation. Sponsored placements are clearly identified, and our editorial assessments remain independent.
Why Calgarians Trust Us
Community First
We're not a national platform. We're hyper-local — focused entirely on Calgary businesses and the people who use them.
Public Review Research
We consider publicly available customer ratings, review patterns and feedback from established review platforms as part of our research.
