Are Corridor Customers Finding Your Competitors Before They Find You?

Macleod Trail Calgary is a hyper-local business directory built for the Macleod Trail commercial corridor.

Unlike general city-wide listings, we group brick-and-mortar businesses by geographic zones along the Trail and organize them by category and subcategory so consumers can find what they need in their part of the corridor — and verified business owners gain a credible local citation that supports search visibility.

Yes.

Every business starts on our Free plan at $0/month — add or claim your listing, build your profile, and appear in browse and search with no credit card required.

Pro ($49 CAD/month) unlocks richer profiles, search priority, and advanced owner tools; upgrade anytime from your owner dashboard once your listing is published.

To add a new listing, enter your business email on the homepage or Add Business page. Then verify your email and complete the setup wizard. Your listing is reviewed before it goes live.

To claim an existing directory listing, open its profile and choose Claim This Business, verify your email, and upload at least two ownership documents for our team to review.

Each owner account is limited to one business; once approved, you manage everything from your dashboard.

Every published listing includes corridor-specific page titles, descriptions, and LocalBusiness structured data.

Once your ownership is verified, your primary website CTA becomes a dofollow backlink — unverified or admin-seeded listings stay nofollow until a real owner is confirmed.

Pro owners can further customize meta tags, Open Graph images, and technical SEO settings. SEO value compounds as your profile is completed and the directory is publicly indexable.

We divide the corridor into four zones — North / Beltline, Central / Chinook, South / Southcentre, and Deep South / Shawnessy.

Consumers filter by zone to narrow results to businesses near them along Macleod Trail. Assigning your listing to the right zone helps the right local customers find you instead of wading through corridor-wide search results.

Free includes one hero CTA, unlimited tags, up to five FAQs, three photos, three social links, basic email notifications, standard search placement, and a sponsored competitors block on your listing page.

Pro ($49 CAD/month) adds a secondary CTA, up to ten photos, unlimited FAQs, all social platforms, custom services, full email notifications, technical SEO controls, priority ranking in browse results, banner ad buying rights, and no sponsored competitor block.

Upgrade anytime from the Subscription page in your owner dashboard once your listing is published, and compare both plans side by side under Our Pricing.

You can cancel Pro anytime from your owner dashboard under Subscription — open the Pro plan, choose Cancel Subscription, and confirm by typing your account email.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period: you keep full Pro access until that date, we don't charge you again, and your listing automatically moves to the Free plan afterward (Free plan limits apply from then on).

We don't offer partial refunds or proration for the current month, so you keep the Pro features you've already paid for. You'll receive a confirmation email, and you can re-subscribe to Pro at any time once the period ends.

Cancelling never deletes your listing or its content — Pro-only fields are simply hidden or trimmed to Free limits and restored if you upgrade again.

Claims require uploading at least two proof-of-ownership documents (such as business registration or utility bills in the business name). Our team reviews each submission before granting dashboard access.

New listings added through onboarding go through a separate publish review. This keeps the directory trustworthy for consumers.

SMS verification is planned for a future release.

No.

Anyone can browse listings, filter by zone and category, view business profiles, and use CTAs such as call, book, or visit website without signing in.

Accounts are only required for business owners who want to add, claim, manage, or upgrade a listing.

Claim or add your listing, assign the correct geographic zone, and complete your profile with photos, services, and CTAs.

Every published page is a corridor-specific landing spot in our business directory. Pro owners unlock priority placement, richer profiles, and advanced local marketing tools to stand out in browse results along the Trail.

Yes — when used as part of a complete local presence.

Each listing includes corridor-tuned titles, descriptions, and LocalBusiness structured data. Verified owners receive a dofollow website citation, which strengthens your local link profile.

A fully completed profile supports how customers discover you in Google Maps and Calgary local search, especially when paired with your Google Business Profile and accurate NAP details.
