Top 100 Business Directories in Canada (September 2025)
Canada Online’s September 2025 traffic-share leaderboard for Canadian business directories, plus guidance on where to claim your company first.
Canada Online has compiled the latest ranking of Canadian and global business directories based on traffic share data from Similarweb (September 2025). Only true business directories were included — platforms that list companies, services, or professionals — while people-search engines, genealogy sites, postal-code databases, and unrelated portals were excluded.
The full dataset includes the top 100 most-visited directories in Canada. Below we present the top 25 leaders ranked by traffic share, followed by a broader list of notable international directories.
How We Filtered
- Scope: Canadian and international directories with verified business listings.
- Excluded: personal-data lookups, white-pages, postal/zip-code tools, and content farms.
- Metric: traffic share (%) according to Similarweb September 2025.
- Accuracy: exact shares for leaders; approximate ranges (0.04–0.01%) for others.
