The Frontenac News is developing an online business directory as a key piece of a new website we are launching on April 1st, our favourite day of the year.

Frontenac-Live.ca will be a companion site to our popular Frontenacnews.ca site.

It is oriented to providing information to Frontenac County residents about services and attractions throughout the county, from where to find a plumber to where to launch a boat, how to find a cottage for a week in the summer, where to buy groceries or a burger and fries, or who grew the largest pumpkin last year.

Frontenac-Live is also devoted to serving the tourist industry by featuring parks, trails, lakes, and unique businesses that make Frontenac County a great place to live and visit.

A central feature of the site will be a comprehensive business directory.

Any and all businesses based in Frontenac County can be listed for free in the directory.

We need to hear from anyone who sells anything in Frontenac County, from those who do snow removal to massage therapists, from welders to small engine mechanics and syrup producers and more.

Free listings include name, address, phone  number, email, and a general category (retail, food and beverage, services, accomodation/real estate, and artisans)

These listings will not only go into the Frontenac-Live directory, they will also be provided for use in a business directory which will be hosted by Frontenac County.

We believe there are well over 1,000 businesses in Frontenac County and we want to list them all in these two online directories.

We will also be updating both directories on an annual basis, a key factor in keeping them useful for potential customers, both local ones and those from away. The directories will be useful for permanent residents and the up to 20,000 seasonal residents who make Frontenac County their home for part of the year.

In addition to the free listings we have developed opportunities for enhanced listings for the Frontenac-Live site. These will include a full description of all of the services available from each business, the ability to post photos and video and be listed under multiple sub-categories,  links to web and social media locations and other web content. They will also be directly accessible through google searches. Enhanced listings will also be featured, on a rotating basis, on the Frontenacnews.ca site which attracts 18,000 unique visitors per month. The introductory offer for an enhanced listing is $60 per year (it will go up to $72 when the site is launched)
