What a listing gives you.

• One short link

  Every listing gets ptbo.ca/yourname — short enough for a business card, an Instagram bio, or the side of a van.

• A profile, or a redirect

  Use the profile page for hours, photos, contact details, socials and a map — or switch on redirect mode and send visitors straight to your own website instead.

• Owner-maintained

  Claim your listing and you control it: hours (including holiday and special hours), photos, description, links, and where the short link points.

• Built to print

  Every profile has a QR code, so the same link works on signage, packaging, menus and business cards.

3. 3

   Make it yours

   Edit the description, hours, photos and links whenever you like — or point the short link at your own site.

What ptbo.ca isn't.

“Ptbo” is local shorthand for Peterborough, and several unrelated things use it. To be clear about which one this is:

• —Not the City of Peterborough. This is an independent project with no municipal affiliation. For city services, taxes, transit, permits or council business, use the City's own website.
• —Not a news outlet. Peterborough has local news publications; this isn't one of them. ptbo.ca lists businesses, it doesn't report.
