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.
How to claim yours.
Find your listing
Most Peterborough businesses are already here. Search the directory for your name.
Prove it's yours
Our team reviews every claim before a listing changes hands, so nobody else can take yours.
Make it yours
Once it's approved, edit the description, hours, photos and links whenever you like, or ask us to 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. This is the business directory:
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.

If you run a business in Peterborough, your listing is probably already here waiting for you.
